Cometic Ford 221 Flathead V8 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.156in Bore - 21 Stud

If you're working on a Ford Flathead V8 and need a new head gasket, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is a solid option. It's specifically made for the 221 cubic inch Flathead V8 and features a 3.156-inch bore with a 0.080-inch compressed thickness, designed for engines with 21 studs. This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the mid-1940s through the early 1950s, including models like the Ford F-1, Customline, and Mercury Monterey.

Cometic builds these MLS gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and helps them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, meaning you don't need to add any extra sealants. This construction makes them suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and they're built to handle the demands of higher output engines.
