Why are Fel-Pro performance head gaskets so important?
Performance Head Gaskets. The LaserWeld ™ stopper layer in Fel-Pro ® Performance MLS head gaskets provides a precisely determined limit to the compression of the multiple layers at the cylinder bore, while ensuring proper sealing stress between the cylinder head and block. This vital function helps reduce head lift…
What kind of wire ring does a Fel-Pro gasket use?
Fel-Pro ® Performance wire ring head gaskets feature a 321 Series stainless steel armor surrounding each cylinder, in addition to a pre-flattened steel or copper wire ring that provides highly-concentrated sealing around the combustion chamber.
How does laserweld stopper work in Fel-Pro head gaskets?
The LaserWeld ™ stopper layer in Fel-Pro ® Performance MLS head gaskets provides a precisely-determined limit to the compression of the multiple layers at the combustion opening. This vital function helps prevent gasket damage and ensures a superior combustion seal.
Why are head gaskets important in a performance engine?
This vital function helps reduce head lift (commonly encountered in many performance engines), prevents gasket damage and ensures a superior combustion seal, while ensuring proper sealing stress between the cylinder head and block. loading… loading…
Can a full set of Fel-Pro gaskets be used?
Fel-Pro® Conversion Sets provide every gasket necessary for lower engine work. When combined with a Head Set, Conversion Sets can be used for a complete overhaul or as a Full Set.
When to use a Fel-Pro head set?
HEAD SETS (HS) Fel-Pro® Head Sets give technicians not only the gaskets the project requires, but the very best technology available. Head Sets are used for upper engine repair only, typically on a valve grind. They can be combined with a Fel-Pro Conversion Set (CS) to form a Full Set (FS) for the entire engine.
Can a stretched head bolts cause a gasket to fail?
Reusing stretched T-T-Y head bolts can cause improper or uneven torque, damaged engine threads, and broken bolts, any of which could lead to head gasket failure. It is important to use new bolts and proper torquing procedures during reassembly. Search for your part by vehicle year, make and model.
