Cometic Ford 239 Flathead V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.250in Bore - 24 Stud

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 239 Flathead V8, getting a solid seal on your cylinder heads is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these classic engines, whether they're stock or have been worked over for a bit more power. It's designed to provide a reliable seal between the block and the head, preventing coolant and combustion gases from mixing.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it a lot of strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes. This means you don't need to add any extra sealants when you install it, and it's ready to go right out of the box. The compressed thickness is set at .030 inches, which is important for maintaining your engine's compression ratio.

This gasket is a good choice for a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1930s through the late 1940s, including models like the Ford F-Series trucks, Mercury sedans, and various Ford pickup trucks. It's designed to fit right and perform reliably, giving you peace of mind after your engine work is complete.
