Cometic 94-03 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel 4.140 inch Bore .060 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 7.3L Powerstroke diesel, you get a Cometic MLS head gasket. This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel, featuring an embossed outer layer coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material. The compressed thickness is .060 inches, and the bore size is 4.140 inches. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and fits a range of Ford trucks and vans, including models like the F-250 Super Duty, E-350 Econoline, and Excursion from 1994-2003.

Cometic's Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) design offers improved strength and corrosion resistance due to the stainless steel construction. The Viton coating on the outer layers is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand harsh sealing environments and varying load conditions, making it suitable for both aluminum and cast iron blocks. These gaskets don't require additional sealants, simplifying installation. The center shim layer can be varied, and in this case, it's set to achieve the .060 inch compressed thickness, which is a common requirement for many 7.3L Powerstroke builds.
