Oil Pump Gasket - SBF

The Oil Pump Gasket - SBF from FEL-PRO is an essential sealing component for Small Block Ford engines undergoing maintenance or rebuild work. This composite gasket prevents oil leakage at the pump-to-block interface, a common failure point in aged or high-mileage powerplants. Whether you're performing routine service or a full engine overhaul, this OEM-quality gasket ensures a reliable seal that protects engine oil circulation and maintains proper pressure throughout your lubrication system.

Constructed from FEL-PRO's proven composite material, this gasket resists oil degradation and thermal cycling that can cause conventional rubber seals to harden and fail. The composite design provides superior durability compared to older cork or paper gaskets, offering consistent compression set resistance across repeated heating and cooling cycles. At just 0.02 lbs and measuring 4.9 x 0.45 x 6.3 inches, the gasket fits precisely between the oil pump and engine block, creating a watertight seal that meets Small Block Ford factory specifications without requiring re-torquing after installation.

Mechanics and engine builders working on 260, 289, 302, 351W, and other SBF variants rely on this gasket for leak-free reassembly. Installation is straightforward: remove the oil pump, clean both mating surfaces thoroughly, apply a light coat of gasket sealer to the composite surface, and torque the pump bolts to specification. This is a direct replacement for worn or failed original equipment gaskets and is essential when the oil pump is removed for any reason—reusing an old gasket risks seepage that can compromise oil pressure and engine longevity.
