Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.080 inch Bore .092 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (Non SVO)

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Windsor V8, getting the right head gasket is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built for engines with a 4.080 inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.092 inches, specifically for non-SVO applications. It's designed to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and block.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and the ability to rebound, helping to resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for sealing in tough environments and on various surface finishes. This construction means you don't need to use any extra sealants for installation. These gaskets are a good choice whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This gasket fits a wide range of classic Ford vehicles, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford E-Series vans, and even classic AC Cobras. It's a well-built component for anyone looking to ensure a proper seal during their engine rebuild.
