Cometic Ford 239 Flathead V8 .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.375in Bore - 24 Stud - 59A

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket specifically made for the Ford 239 Flathead V8 engine. It's designed with a thickness of .056 inches, a bore size of 3.375 inches, and accommodates 24 studs, fitting the 59A engine configuration. This gasket is built to handle the demands of classic V8 engines found in a variety of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the mid-20th century, as well as some Toyota models from the late 90s and early 2000s.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets using multiple layers of stainless steel. This material choice offers increased strength and resilience, helping the gasket maintain its seal under various operating conditions. The outer layers are treated with a Viton rubber coating on both sides. Viton is known for its excellent heat resistance, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), which is crucial for maintaining a reliable seal in the harsh environment of an engine cylinder head.

This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or repairing the top end of your Ford Flathead V8. Ensure you have the correct bore size and stud count for your specific application before ordering.
