The Fel-Pro 1189 PermaTorqueMLS engine cylinder head gasket is specifically engineered for Chrysler V8 small block engines, including 273, 318 (excluding 1957-66 and 1967 Canadian models), 340, and 360 cubic inch displacements. Crafted with proprietary multi-layer steel technology, this gasket delivers a reliable seal even under demanding conditions, making it ideal for both stock and high-performance applications. Its innovative design accommodates engine movement and high cylinder pressures, ensuring durability and consistent sealing performance over time.
Designed to address real-world repair challenges, the Fel-Pro 1189 gasket features strategically placed sealing beads around the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This focus helps concentrate clamp load where it’s needed most, effectively preventing leaks and maintaining compression integrity. The gasket's construction also ensures compatibility with imperfect sealing surfaces, making installation more forgiving and reducing the likelihood of retorque issues.
Built with installer convenience in mind, the Fel-Pro 1189 gasket simplifies the installation process, saving time and reducing frustration. Its enhanced sealing technology is particularly beneficial in engines experiencing significant scrubbing and movement due to dissimilar materials such as aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. While not intended for emission-controlled vehicles, this gasket provides excellent performance for performance engines and standard rebuilds alike, ensuring long-lasting reliability and engine integrity.
