What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

When properly installed and compressed, this head gasket has an operating thickness of 0.036 inches. This ensures a precise seal for optimal engine performance.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of synthetic rubber that is highly resistant to heat, chemicals, and harsh environments. It's used here as a coating on the outer layers of the gasket to provide a durable and effective seal, capable of withstanding high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C).

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring an outer coating of heat-resistant Viton rubber. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and provides a strong seal between aluminum and cast iron blocks without needing additional sealants. The Viton coating can withstand temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes.

The center layer of stainless steel can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, and in this case, it's set to a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches with a 0.066-inch uncompressed thickness. This specific gasket is for the left side (LHS) of a 94mm bore engine, fitting the Ford 5.0L Gen-1 Coyote Modular V8. It's a well-built option for those rebuilding or working on the top end of these specific engines.
