Fel-Pro 26473 R-053 PermaTorqueMLS Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

This is the Fel-Pro 26473 R-053 PermaTorqueMLS engine cylinder head gasket, built for GM Marine Small Block V8 applications. Fel-Pro gaskets are known for handling the challenges of real-world repairs, especially when dealing with imperfect sealing surfaces or engines that see a lot of action.

The PermaTorqueMLS design uses multiple layers of steel to handle the high cylinder pressures and movement common in performance engines. It features strategically placed 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 even under demanding conditions. This gasket is specifically developed for performance use and is not intended for emission-controlled vehicles.
