Fel-Pro 1185 PermaTorqueMLS Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

The PermaTorqueMLS designation tells you this is a multi-layer steel head gasket from Fel-Pro, built to handle the demands of performance engines. These gaskets are specifically developed for the repair environment, meaning they're made to seal well even when sealing surfaces aren't perfectly flat, which can happen with aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. Fel-Pro's design uses strategically placed sealing beads around the combustion chambers and coolant passages. This concentrates the clamping force right where it's needed most, helping to prevent leaks under high cylinder pressures and the movement that comes with dissimilar materials working together.

If you're rebuilding or working on a Chevrolet V8 Gen III Small Block or LS-Series engine and are looking for a solid sealing solution that can handle increased cylinder pressures, this gasket is a well-built option. Just keep in mind that these are not intended for use in vehicles with emissions controls.
