Fel-Pro 1162 R-053 PermaTorqueMLS Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of a high-performance Chevy V8 LS engine with a 4.175-inch bore, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS gasket is built to handle the demands of performance applications, ensuring a solid seal between your cylinder heads and engine block.

The PermaTorqueMLS design uses multiple layers of steel to create a strong and durable gasket. It features strategically placed sealing beads around the combustion chambers and coolant passages. These beads concentrate the clamping force from your cylinder head bolts, which helps prevent leaks even when the engine experiences significant scrubbing and movement, especially common when mating dissimilar materials like aluminum heads to a cast iron block.

This gasket is specifically designed for performance engines and is not intended for use in emissions-controlled vehicles. It's a well-built option for those looking for a dependable seal in a performance-oriented build.
