About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer layer coated with Viton rubber. This design is meant to handle the high output engines common in performance applications. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center shim layer is stainless steel, allowing for different thickness requirements; this specific gasket has a compressed operating thickness of .066 inches.

MLS head gaskets are known for their strength and ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion and maintain a strong seal. They are ideal for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, as they can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. Because they are designed for maximum sealing performance, these gaskets typically do not require additional sealants, simplifying installation. This is the right-side gasket for your Ford 5.0L Gen-1 Coyote Modular V8 engine.
