Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.060 inch Bore .120 inch MLS Head Gasket (Non SVO)

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. The compressed operating thickness comes in at 0.120 inches, and it's designed for a 4.060-inch bore, making it a solid choice for Ford Windsor V8 engines, specifically the non-SVO versions.

MLS gaskets are well-suited for modern high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants. They handle the shearing forces well when you're mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks. The multiple stainless steel layers give these gaskets increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material, capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, which is crucial for meeting the demands of various sealing environments and surface finishes.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles from the 1960s through the 1990s, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford E-Series vans, and various Ford sedans and trucks. It's a well-built component designed for reliable sealing in performance applications.
