About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your 2005-2010 Ford Mustang with the 4.6L 3-valve engine. When you're rebuilding the top end or replacing worn-out gaskets, a solid head gasket is crucial for keeping your engine running smoothly. This gasket is designed to handle the pressures of high-output engines without needing any extra sealants, making the job a bit more straightforward.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, up to 482°F. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 94mm, making it a good fit for the 4.6L 3-valve engine. MLS gaskets are also great for joining different block and head materials, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, because they can manage the shearing forces that can occur.

This gasket is specifically made for the 4.6L 3-valve engine found in models like the Ford Mustang, Explorer, and F-150. Make sure to check the fitment details to confirm it's the right part for your specific vehicle.
