Cometic Ford 239/255 Flathead V8 3.375in Bore 24 Bolt .040 in MLS Head Gasket - Right

If you're working on a Ford 239 or 255 cubic inch Flathead V8 engine from the late 40s or early 50s, this Cometic MLS head gasket is a solid option for your rebuild. This gasket is specifically designed for the right-hand cylinder head and features a 3.375-inch bore, which is 0.040 inches undersize from the factory specification. It's built with Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) technology, known for its durability and ability to handle the pressures of these classic engines.

Cometic uses their HP shim technology in this gasket, which helps increase the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This is particularly important for engines with open deck blocks, like many Flatheads, as it ensures a better seal and helps prevent leaks. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a material that offers good resistance to heat and oil, contributing to a long-lasting seal. This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from 1949 to 1953, including models like the Ford F-100, Ford Country Sedan, and Mercury Monterey.
