Cometic Ford 239 Flathead V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.250in Bore - 24 Stud

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket specifically made for Ford 239 Flathead V8 engines. It features a 3.250-inch bore and is designed for applications with 24 studs. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, offering a robust sealing solution for a range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles from the mid-1940s, including pickups and models like the Deluxe and Super Deluxe.

Cometic's MLS gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping to resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is designed to work well with various sealing environments and surface finishes, and it means the gasket doesn't require any additional sealants for installation. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches.
