Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Flathead V8, getting the right head gasket is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built for the 239/255 cubic inch engines with a 3.375 inch bore, specifically for the right-hand side cylinder head. It's designed to handle the demands of these classic V8s, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance, which also helps the gasket rebound and maintain its seal. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum and cast iron blocks. This gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches and is 0.080 inches thick before compression, providing a precise fit for your rebuild. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.

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 Customline, and Mercury Monterey. Ensure you select the correct gasket for your specific application to get your Flathead V8 running smoothly again.
