Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.155 inch Bore .036 inch MLS Head Gasket (Non SVO)

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Ford 289, 302, and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It features a 4.155 inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches. These gaskets are built to handle the demands of high-output engines and are suitable for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks.

Cometic MLS head gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with various surface finishes. This construction means you don't need to use any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine build requirements.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford E-Series vans, and various Ford cars from the 1960s through the 1990s, as well as some AC Shelby Cobra and DeTomaso applications. Always check the full fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
