Product Details
When you're rebuilding the top end of your classic Ford or Mercury with a 221 Flathead V8, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for a strong seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these engines, offering a compressed thickness of .040 inches and a bore size of 3.156 inches, designed for 21 studs.
Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes, meaning you won't need additional sealants. This construction is ideal whether you're mating aluminum heads to an aluminum block or to cast iron, as it can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
This gasket fits a wide range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1930s through the early 1950s, including models like the Ford F-1, Ford Customline, and Mercury Monterey. It's a well-built component designed to provide reliable sealing for your engine project.
