Construction & Design:

The Fel-Pro PermaTorque gasket features a robust multi-layer steel (MLS) design, utilizing several layers of high-grade stainless steel to provide strength and flexibility. This construction allows the gasket to maintain a tight seal despite the thermal expansion and contraction of engine components during operation. The proprietary coating applied to the gasket surface enhances its ability to conform to imperfect sealing surfaces, reducing the risk of leaks caused by surface irregularities.

Fel-Pro’s engineering focuses on durability and reliability, ensuring the gasket withstands the harsh conditions inside the combustion chamber, including high temperatures and pressures. The embossed sealing beads are precisely formed to create a secure barrier against fluid and gas leaks, contributing to the overall longevity of the engine.
