Cometic Ford 239/255 Flathead V8 3.375in Bore 24 Bolt .060 in MLS Head Gasket - Right

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is specifically built for Ford 239/255 Flathead V8 engines with a 3.375-inch bore. It's a .060-inch thick gasket, designed for the right-hand cylinder head, and features 24 bolt holes. The advanced HP shim technology is a key detail here; it increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber, which is crucial for sealing effectively, especially with open deck block designs common in these classic V8s.

The gasket's outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a material known for its excellent resistance to heat and oil. This construction helps ensure a strong, reliable seal between the cylinder head and the engine block, which is vital for maintaining compression and preventing coolant or oil leaks. Because it's a Multi-Layer Steel design, it offers a robust sealing solution that can handle the pressures and temperatures found in these engines.

This gasket fits a wide range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1940s through the early 1950s, including models like the Ford F-100, Ford Country Squire, and Mercury Monterey. If you're rebuilding or refreshing the top end of your Flathead V8, this well-built gasket is a solid option for ensuring a proper seal.
