Cometic Ford 239/255 Flathead V8 3.375in Bore 24 Bolt .036 in MLS Head Gasket - Right

If you're working on a Ford 239 or 255 cubic inch Flathead V8, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to seal your engine right. This gasket is specifically for the right-hand side of the engine and features a 3.375-inch bore with a 0.036-inch thickness, designed for a 24-bolt cylinder head configuration. It's a well-made component for a range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 40s and early 50s, including models like the Ford F-1, Ford Customline, and Mercury Monterey.

Cometic uses advanced HP shim technology in these gaskets. This means there are embossed layers that increase the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This is especially helpful on open deck blocks, ensuring a strong seal and preventing leaks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, which helps maintain sealability under demanding engine conditions.
