Cometic Ford 239 Flathead V8 .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.250in Bore - 24 Stud

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for your Ford 239 Flathead V8 engine. You get one MLS head gasket with a compressed thickness of .086 inches and a bore size of 3.250 inches, designed for 24 studs. This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers coated in heat-resistant Viton rubber. This construction is ideal for sealing aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, or aluminum to aluminum, and can handle the stresses between different metals.

Cometic’s MLS gaskets are well-built for high-output engines and don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the Viton coating on the outer layers handles demanding sealing environments and surface finishes. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .086 inches this gasket offers.

This gasket fits a range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles from the 1940s, including models like the Ford F-1 pickup and Mercury Series 29A. It's a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your Flathead V8.
