Cometic 04+ Ford 5.4L 3 Valve LHS 94mm Bore .051 inch MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for making solid engine components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a 2004 or newer Ford 5.4L 3-valve engine, this gasket is built to seal your cylinder heads effectively. It's designed with a 94mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches, making it a precise fit for these specific Ford modular V8s.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is tough and can handle various sealing conditions, even when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, which can create shearing forces. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and Cometic uses these layers to achieve the specific thickness needed for your engine.

This gasket is a popular choice for many Ford vehicles, including the Expedition, F-150, and F-250 Super Duty models from the mid-2000s to early 2010s. Because it's a multi-layer steel design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. Just ensure your mating surfaces are clean and flat, and this gasket will do the rest.
