What is the benefit of the Viton coating on this head gasket?

The Viton coating on the outer layers of this gasket is a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand temperatures up to 482°F. This helps ensure a reliable seal in high-output engine environments.

Do I need to use any sealant with this Cometic head gasket?

No, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The construction itself ensures a tight seal.

What is the difference between this gasket and an SVO gasket?

This is a Non-SVO gasket, meaning it is intended for standard aftermarket applications. SVO (Special Vehicle Operations) gaskets are typically designed for specialized Ford racing or performance applications and may have different specifications.

About this part

Product Details

Built with multiple layers of stainless steel, this Cometic head gasket features an embossed outer layer coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482°F. This construction makes it well-suited for high-output engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks. The multi-layer steel design provides increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the Viton coating ensures a solid seal in demanding conditions.

The compressed operating thickness of this gasket is 0.084 inches, and it's designed for a 4.100-inch bore. It's a popular choice for a wide range of Ford Windsor V8 engines, including those found in vehicles like the Ford Bronco, Ford E-Series vans, and AC Shelby Cobras. Because it's a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. This particular gasket is the Non-SVO version, meaning it's intended for standard aftermarket applications rather than specialized Ford racing parts.
