Fel-Pro 1099 Steel core laminate Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

This is the Fel-Pro 1099 steel core laminate head gasket, built for performance V8 applications like Pro Stock engines. It’s designed to handle the higher cylinder pressures and head movement that come with performance builds, ensuring a solid seal where it matters most. Unlike standard gaskets, this one uses a wire ring design around each cylinder, made from stainless steel, to create a much stronger seal specifically for the combustion chamber. This means you get about three times the sealing force compared to a regular head gasket, which is crucial for keeping everything contained under high stress.

Fel-Pro gaskets are known for working well even on surfaces that aren't perfectly smooth, which can happen during engine rebuilds. The steel wire rings are key here, providing the greatest possible strength for sealing the combustion area. Just remember, this gasket is intended for performance use and is not designed for vehicles with emissions controls.
