Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.080 inch Bore .060 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (Non SVO)

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Windsor V8, you need a head gasket that can handle the pressure. This Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) head gasket is built for engines with a 4.080 inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches. It's designed to fit a wide range of Ford vehicles, including popular models like the Ford Bronco and Ford Econoline vans, as well as classic AC Shelby Cobras and De Tomaso Panteras.

What you get here is a well-built gasket made from multiple layers of stainless steel. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This construction means the gasket can withstand the forces created when mating different block and head materials, like aluminum to cast iron, and it doesn't require any extra sealants to do its job. The multiple steel layers also give it strength and help it resist corrosion.

This gasket is specifically for non-SVO applications, meaning it's intended for standard production engines rather than specialized racing versions. It's a solid option for ensuring a reliable seal for your engine build.
