Fel-Pro 17040 PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevrolet V8, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Fel-Pro 17040 PermaTorque gasket is built to seal those critical combustion chambers and coolant passages, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and efficiently. Fel-Pro designs these gaskets specifically for the realities of engine repair, meaning they can handle less-than-perfect sealing surfaces.

What sets this gasket apart is its no-retorque design, thanks to its steel core construction. This means you won't have to worry about going back to tighten the head bolts after the engine heats up, which is a common step with some other gasket types. It also features a proprietary non-stick, anti-friction coating that helps seal minor scratches and imperfections on the block and head surfaces, giving you a more dependable seal right from the start. The gasket itself uses a graphite or reinforced fiber facing with steel armor for added strength and durability.
