Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.030 inch Bore .051 inch MLS Head Gasket (Non SVO)

This product is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Ford 289, 302, and 351 Windsor V8 engines with a 4.030 inch bore. It has a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches and is specifically the non-SVO version. These gaskets are well-built for today's high-output engines and don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to shearing forces, especially when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and various surface finishes, up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine build requirements.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including classic Broncos, Econoline vans, and various car models from the 1960s through the 1990s, as well as some AC Shelby Cobras and De Tomaso Panteras. It's a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your Ford Windsor V8's top end.
