About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for your 2005-2010 Ford Mustang with the 4.6L 3-Valve engine. It features a 94mm bore and a compressed thickness of .051 inches, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or replacing your engine's cylinder head seals. MLS gaskets are built to handle the demands of high-output engines and are suitable for use with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks.

Cometic constructs these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating helps ensure a strong seal even under challenging conditions and across various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements.
