Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.030 inch Bore .056 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (Non SVO)

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Ford 289, 302, and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It features a 4.030 inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.056 inches. These gaskets are built to handle the demands of high-output engines and are suitable for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces between different metals.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a strong seal even in harsh conditions. Because they are made of multiple layers and use this advanced coating, these MLS gaskets do not require any additional sealants for installation.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles from the 1960s through the 1990s, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford Econoline vans, and various Ford sedans and trucks. It's a well-built option for rebuilding or repairing the top end of these classic Ford V8 engines.
