Fel-Pro 1135-1 PermaTorqueMLS Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

The PermaTorqueMLS head gasket from Fel-Pro uses a multi-layer steel construction, a smart choice when you're dealing with engines that have dissimilar materials like aluminum heads on a cast iron block. This design helps manage the scrubbing and movement that can happen between those different metals, ensuring a reliable seal. These gaskets are built to handle the higher cylinder pressures and head movement often found in performance engines, making them a solid option for your Ford V8 Small Block build.

Fel-Pro designs their gaskets with the real-world repair environment in mind, meaning they can handle imperfect sealing surfaces. Strategically placed sealing beads are positioned around the combustion chambers and coolant passages. This concentrates the clamping force right where it's needed most, helping to prevent leaks and maintain the integrity of your engine's seal. Just remember, this particular gasket isn't intended for use in vehicles with emissions controls.
