Cometic Ford 239/255 Flathead V8 3.375in Bore 24 Bolt .051 in MLS Head Gasket - Right

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions for a wide range of engines. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is specifically designed for Ford 239/255 Flathead V8 engines, featuring a 3.375-inch bore and a 24-bolt pattern. It's built to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering reliable sealing without the need for additional sealants.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This makes it suitable for applications with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control, and this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches.

This gasket fits a variety of classic Ford vehicles from the late 1940s through the early 1950s, including models like the Ford F-100, Ford Customline, and Ford Crestline. It's also compatible with Jaguar XK models from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. Ensure you are ordering the correct gasket for the right side of your engine.
