Fel-Pro 1135 PermaTorqueMLS Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

This is the Fel-Pro 1135 PermaTorqueMLS head gasket, built for performance V8 engines and NASCAR SVO applications. When you're working on a high-output engine, especially one that might have some imperfections on the sealing surfaces of the block or heads, a gasket like this is crucial for getting a reliable seal. Fel-Pro designs these specifically for the challenges found in real-world repairs, meaning they can handle engines that experience a lot of movement and scrubbing between different materials, like aluminum heads on a cast iron block.

The PermaTorqueMLS construction uses multiple layers of steel to handle the high cylinder pressures and movement common in performance applications. You'll find strategically placed sealing beads around the combustion chambers and coolant passages. These beads concentrate the clamping force right where it's needed most, helping to prevent leaks even under demanding conditions. This gasket is a solid option when you need a dependable seal for a performance build, but remember it's not intended for use in emissions-controlled vehicles.
