SB Ford Head Gasket 302 SVO-351W SVO ENG

The SB Ford Head Gasket 302 SVO-351W SVO ENG is an OEM-quality replacement cylinder head gasket engineered for Small Block Ford engines, including 302 SVO and 351W SVO variants. This gasket serves as a critical sealing component between the cylinder head and engine block, preventing combustion pressure and coolant leakage that can cause overheating, performance loss, and catastrophic engine damage. Whether you're rebuilding a classic Ford performance engine or restoring original specification integrity, this Fel-Pro gasket is designed to meet factory compression requirements and durability standards.

Constructed with a steel core laminate design, the SB Ford Head Gasket features a 4.145-inch bore diameter and 0.039-inch compression thickness that maintains proper combustion chamber volumes and sealing force across temperature cycles. The steel core laminate construction provides superior crush strength and reusability compared to graphite-only gaskets, ensuring consistent sealing pressure under the thermal stress of high-revving small block engines. Fel-Pro's precision manufacturing tolerances guarantee proper fit against factory machined surfaces without requiring additional machine work or custom fitting.

This gasket is ideal for engine builders, restoration specialists, and enthusiasts performing cylinder head service on Ford 302 SVO and 351W SVO engines. Direct bolt-on installation into original engine blocks ensures straightforward assembly during head gasket replacement, requiring only standard engine rebuilding procedures and proper torque sequences. The compact shipping dimensions (8.9 x 0.3 x 26.15 inches, 0.51 lbs) make this gasket convenient for mail delivery, and Fel-Pro's reputation for OEM-equivalent quality ensures long-term reliability for both street and performance applications.
