About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built gaskets that seal reliably, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on the 4.6L 3-valve engine in your 2005-2010 Ford Mustang, Explorer, or F-150, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of those engines.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and maintain a seal. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The compressed thickness is 0.098 inches, and it's made for a 94mm bore, making it a solid option for rebuilding or replacing the head gaskets on your vehicle.

Because these are MLS gaskets, they don't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. Just make sure you're working with a clean, flat surface on both the head and the block.
