Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS performance head gaskets provide the robust seal needed to contain extreme combustion pressures and temperatures common to naturally aspirated, turbo/supercharged and nitrous-equipped performance engines. Each gasket is composed of multiple layers of fully-hardened stainless steel, precisely engineered sealing beads and advanced polymer coatings to maintain contact pressure between the cylinder head and block despite the extreme horizontal and vertical casting motion encountered in many high-performance engine applications. These benefits have been proven in thousands of miles of championship oval track competition and thousands of passes on drag strips across North America.
"PermaTorqueMLS has become the new sealing standard in Nextel Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck Series competition, as well as dirt and asphalt circle track racing, drag racing and street performance applications," said Fel-Pro Performance Products Manager Ron Rotunno. "With the addition of these new PermaTorqueMLS head gasket applications, the same sealing benefits are now available for most popular performance engine platforms and bore configurations."
Unlike other MLS head gaskets, Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS gaskets feature a proprietary aftermarket coating that accommodates a wider range of surface finishes. Each gasket is manufactured using precision tooling to ensure exact sealing bead location and profile.

Many automotive engines are now factory-equipped with multi-layer steel head gaskets, which are able to provide long-term combustion and fluid sealing in spite of lighter-weight head and block castings and increased operating temperatures. Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS technology delivers a complete, durable seal in these challenging operating conditions and with less-than-perfect surface finishes.
