Fel-Pro 8045 PT PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

If you're working on the engine of your 1975-1977 Ford F-500, this Fel-Pro 8045 PT PermaTorque cylinder head gasket is what you need to ensure a reliable seal. Head gaskets are critical for keeping combustion gases contained and coolant and oil separated within the engine block and cylinder head. Fel-Pro designs their gaskets specifically for the realities of engine repair, meaning they can handle less-than-perfect sealing surfaces.

This gasket uses a steel core for strength and durability, and it features a proprietary non-stick, anti-friction coating. This coating helps seal minor scratches and imperfections on the engine block or cylinder head surfaces, which can often happen during the repair process. Because of its construction and the materials used, this gasket is designed as a no-retorque type, meaning you shouldn't need to go back and tighten the head bolts after the initial installation, simplifying the job.
