The FEL-PRO Ford 351 Yates Head Gasket (Part Number 1031 L) is an OEM-specification cylinder head gasket engineered for Small Block Ford engines, specifically the 351 platform with Yates cylinder head configurations. This driver-side gasket features a steel core laminate construction and 0.041-inch compression thickness, designed to deliver reliable combustion sealing and consistent performance in both stock and modified engine applications.
The 4.150-inch bore specification matches the exact dimensions required for proper sealing on Yates heads, a critical design feature when rebuilding or servicing 351 cubic inch engines. The steel core laminate construction provides superior gasket durability compared to conventional asbestos-free materials, resisting blowout and maintaining a tight seal across varying cylinder pressures. The 0.041-inch thickness is precisely engineered to achieve the correct compression ratio and chamber volume for optimal combustion characteristics in 351-powered builds.
This gasket is essential for engine builders, restoration shops, and Ford enthusiasts performing cylinder head replacement, engine overhaul, or performance modification on 351 Small Block Ford platforms. Proper head gasket selection is fundamental to preventing coolant leaks, oil seepage, and combustion gas escape—issues that compromise engine reliability and longevity. FEL-PRO's OEM-quality manufacturing ensures fitment accuracy and gasket integrity under the thermal and pressure cycles of daily driving or competition use.
When selecting a cylinder head gasket for Small Block Ford engine work, bore diameter, compression thickness, and core material all directly influence seal performance and engine longevity. This FEL-PRO gasket's specifications match OEM standards for Yates head applications, making it the correct choice for any 351-powered rebuild that demands precise fitment and dependable sealing.
Sold as a single gasket (driver side). Ensure both cylinder head gaskets are replaced as a complete set for optimal sealing performance.
