Cometic Ferrari 308 V8 2 Valve 89mm .030 inch MLS Head Gasket

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, specifically sized for an 89mm bore and .030 inch thickness. It's designed to seal the combustion chamber in engines like the Ferrari 308 V8 2-valve, and also fits a range of Ford V8 applications from the early 70s through the early 80s, including models like the Ford F-250 and Ford LTD. MLS gaskets are a strong choice for high-output engines because they offer excellent sealing without needing additional sealants.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion and withstand the forces generated between different metal types, like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements, like the .030 inch size on this particular gasket.
