Designed for original and stock Model A cylinder heads, this premium head gasket features a solid steel core with high-density gasket material and a silicone-coated sealing surface for superior durability and coolant sealing. Additional high-temperature silicone sealing bands surround every water passage to help prevent coolant seepage without requiring additional gasket sealant.
Unlike conventional composite gaskets, this premium design provides a more reliable seal while maintaining correct compression characteristics for standard Model A combustion chambers.
Important: This gasket is intended for stock Model A cylinder heads only and should not be used with high-compression aftermarket heads or Model B heads, as the fire rings will not compress correctly.
Install with the "This Side Up" marking facing upward.
Ensure both the cylinder head and engine block surfaces are clean, flat and free of oil or grease before installation.
Do not use gasket sealant. The gasket is self-sealing and additional sealants may damage the silicone sealing surfaces.
Tighten the cylinder head using the correct Model A tightening sequence.
Final torque specification is 55 ft-lbs (75 Nm).
After initial warm-up, allow the engine to cool completely before rechecking torque.
Re-torque the head again after approximately 500 miles (800 km) with the engine completely cold.
