Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.03in NONSVO .040 thick MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket has built a reputation for making solid sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s designed for Ford Windsor V8 engines, specifically those with a 4.030-inch bore, and it's built to a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches. This gasket is a great choice for rebuilding or repairing a wide range of classic Ford vehicles, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford F-Series trucks, and even performance cars like the De Tomaso Pantera.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This advanced coating is designed to seal effectively in tough conditions and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, even when paired with aluminum heads. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to meet different thickness needs, ensuring a precise fit for your engine build. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
