Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.080in NONSVO .030 thick MLS Head Gasket

This product includes one Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Ford 289, 302, and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It features a 4.080-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.030 inches, specifically for non-SVO applications. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets from 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 withstand temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating ensures a reliable seal even in harsh conditions and across different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, with this specific gasket set to a compressed operating thickness of 0.030 inches. These gaskets do not require any additional sealants for installation.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including classic Broncos, Econoline vans, and various truck models from the 1960s through the 1990s, as well as some AC Shelby Cobra and De Tomaso models. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or upgrading your Ford V8 engine.
