Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.100 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 gaskets right is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these engines, especially when you're looking for a reliable seal that won't break down over time.

What makes these gaskets stand out is their construction. They're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them a lot of strength and helps them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different surface finishes on your heads and block. This design means you don't need to use any extra sealants, and they're suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks and heads, even when they're different materials. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of .045 inches and is designed for a 4.100 inch bore.

This gasket is a popular choice for a wide range of Ford vehicles from the 60s through the 90s, including models like the Ford Bronco, Econoline vans, and various Ford sedans and trucks. It's a well-built component designed to provide a dependable seal for your engine rebuild.
