Cometic Ford 239/255 Flathead V8 3.375in Bore 24 Bolt .086 in MLS Head Gasket - Right

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The stainless steel layers provide increased strength and corrosion resistance, while the Viton coating, which is heat resistant up to 482°F, ensures a strong seal even under challenging conditions.

The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, with this particular gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches from its original 0.086-inch thickness. This gasket is intended for the right side of Ford 239/255 Flathead V8 engines with a 3.375-inch bore and 24 bolt pattern. It fits a wide range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1940s through the early 1950s, including models like the Ford Crestline, Mercury Monterey, and Ford F-100.
