Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.060 inch Bore .045 inch MLS Head Gasket (Non SVO)

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Windsor V8, like a 289, 302, or 351, getting the head gasket right is crucial for a good seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures of these engines. It's designed for a 4.060 inch bore and has a compressed thickness of .045 inches, which is a common spec for these V8s.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and helps them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that seals well against aluminum or cast iron blocks and heads, even with different metals. This means you don't need to use any extra sealants, and the gasket can handle the demands of higher output engines. The center layer is also stainless steel, and Cometic uses different thicknesses for this layer to achieve the final gasket thickness.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford Windsor V8 applications, from classic Broncos and F-Series trucks to Panteras and AC Cobras. It's a well-built option for anyone looking for a reliable seal during their engine rebuild.
