Cometic Ford 239 Flathead V8 .089in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.375in Bore - 24 Stud - 59A

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Flathead V8, getting the cylinder head sealing right is crucial for performance and longevity. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for that job, specifically designed for the Ford 239 cubic inch Flathead V8 engine with a 3.375-inch bore and 24 studs. It features a thickness of .089 inches, providing a solid foundation for your rebuild.

Cometic constructs these gaskets from multiple layers of stainless steel, which offers increased strength and resilience compared to traditional materials. This stainless steel construction also helps the gasket rebound effectively and resist corrosion, important factors in harsh engine environments. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with a Viton rubber material. This coating is heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C) and is designed to handle a variety of sealing demands, load conditions, and surface finishes you might encounter on a classic V8. This well-built gasket fits a range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles from the 1940s and 1950s, as well as some Mazda models from the 1990s.
