Cometic Ford 239 Flathead V8 .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.250in Bore - 24 Stud

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 239 Flathead V8, you need a head gasket that can handle the job. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed to provide a solid seal for your engine. It features a compressed operating thickness of 0.060 inches and a bore size of 3.250 inches, with provisions for 24 studs.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal without needing additional sealants. This construction makes them suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This gasket is a well-built option for a range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1930s through the late 1940s, including models like the Ford F-1 pickup and Mercury Series 99A. It's a popular choice for those looking for a dependable seal in their Flathead V8 rebuild.
