Fel-Pro 1189 PermaTorqueMLS Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

When you're rebuilding a Chrysler V8 Small Block engine, you need a head gasket that can handle the job. This Fel-Pro 1189 PermaTorqueMLS gasket is built for those engines, specifically the 273, 318 (excluding 1957-66 and 1967 Canadian models), 340, and 360 cubic inch displacements. It's designed to seal reliably, even when the engine's sealing surfaces aren't perfectly flat, which can happen in real-world repair situations.

This gasket uses a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction, which is a step up for handling the higher cylinder pressures and movement that performance engines can experience. Fel-Pro strategically places 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 and ensure a solid seal.

Keep in mind that this gasket is not intended for use in vehicles with emissions controls. It's a solid option for performance builds where sealing integrity is critical.
