Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.060 inch Bore .036 inch MLS Head Gasket (Non SVO)

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Windsor V8, like a 289, 302, or 351, these Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are a solid choice. They're designed to handle the demands of higher-output engines, ensuring a strong seal between your cylinder heads and block without needing extra sealants. This is especially helpful when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as these gaskets can manage the different expansion rates.

Cometic builds these gaskets with 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 handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with various surface finishes. The compressed thickness is set at .036 inches, and this particular gasket is made for a 4.060-inch bore size, fitting a wide range of Ford vehicles from classic Broncos and F-Series trucks to early Mustangs and Panteras.
