Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.100 inch Bore .080 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (Non SVO)

Starting with a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious Ford Windsor V8 engines. It features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. This construction is ideal for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise from the different expansion rates of these materials.

The multi-layer design gives these gaskets increased strength and the ability to rebound, while the stainless steel construction resists corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is tough enough for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes, and it means you won't need any additional sealants for installation. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine build requirements.

This gasket is designed to fit a wide range of Ford Windsor V8 engines, including those found in classic Broncos, F-Series trucks, and many other applications from the 1960s through the 1990s. It's a solid option when you need reliable sealing for your high-output engine build.
