Construction & Design:

The Fel-Pro PermaTorque gasket features a robust multi-layer steel (MLS) design, utilizing high-grade stainless steel layers that provide strength and flexibility. This construction maintains consistent sealing pressure even as the engine head experiences thermal expansion and mechanical movement. The proprietary coating enhances the gasket’s ability to conform to less-than-perfect sealing surfaces, a common challenge in repair scenarios. Embossed sealing beads are strategically placed to create a reliable barrier against combustion gases, coolant, and oil leaks, ensuring engine longevity and performance.
