Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The Viton coating can withstand temperatures up to 482 F (250 C), making it suitable for harsh sealing environments.

The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific requirements. With a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches and a bore size of 3.156 inches, this gasket is engineered for a precise fit. Its multi-layer steel design provides increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the embossed outer layers with Viton coating ensure a reliable seal without the need for additional sealants.

This gasket fits a wide range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles from the 1940s and 1950s, including models like the Ford F-1, Ford Customline, and Mercury Monterey. It's a solid option for rebuilding or maintaining your Flathead V8 engine.
