Fel-Pro 1142-026 PermaTorqueMLS Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

Fel-Pro is known for making gaskets that work well in real-world repair situations, even on tricky engines. This PermaTorqueMLS head gasket, part number 1142-026, is built with that philosophy in mind. It’s designed to create a reliable seal, especially when you’re dealing with engines that have imperfect sealing surfaces or experience a lot of movement between different materials, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks.

This gasket uses a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction, which is a solid choice for handling the higher cylinder pressures you might find in performance or race engines. It features sealing beads strategically placed around the combustion chambers and coolant passages. These beads help concentrate the clamping force right where it’s needed most, which is key to preventing leaks under demanding conditions. It’s important to note that this gasket is not intended for use in vehicles that require emissions controls.
