Cometic Ford 239/255 Flathead V8 3.375in Bore 24 Bolt .120 in MLS Head Gasket - Right

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Flathead V8, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for a solid seal. This Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) head gasket is specifically made for the 239/255 cubic inch Flathead V8 engines with a 3.375-inch bore. It's designed for the right-hand side of the engine and features 24 bolt holes, ensuring it fits your specific application. This gasket is built to handle the demands of these classic V8s, offering a reliable seal for your rebuild.

What sets this gasket apart is its Multi-Layer Steel construction, which is well-known for its durability and ability to conform to engine block surfaces. Cometic also incorporates HP shim technology, which increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This is particularly helpful for open-deck blocks, as it helps create a tighter seal and prevent leaks. The gasket is coated on both sides with Viton, a high-performance fluoroelastomer that resists heat and aggressive fluids, further enhancing its sealing capabilities and longevity. This well-built gasket is a solid choice for anyone looking to ensure a leak-free seal in their Flathead V8 rebuild.

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. Make sure to confirm fitment for your specific year and model.
