Fel-Pro 17049 PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevrolet, Mercury, or other compatible V8 engine with a 454ci (7.4L) or 502ci (8.2L) displacement, this Fel-Pro 17049 PermaTorque cylinder head gasket is what you need to ensure a reliable seal. Fel-Pro designs their gaskets specifically for the challenges of the repair environment, meaning they're built to handle imperfect sealing surfaces that you might encounter during an engine rebuild.

This gasket uses a steel core for strength and durability, which also helps eliminate the need for retorquing the head bolts after installation – a common step with other gasket types. It features a proprietary non-stick, anti-friction coating that helps seal minor scratches and imperfections on the cylinder head or block deck. The graphite or reinforced fiber facing material, combined with steel armor, provides a strong and durable seal that stands up to the demands of your engine.

This gasket is a solid option for ensuring a leak-free seal in your engine rebuild. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific torque sequences and procedures for your application.
