Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.155 inch Bore .062 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (Non SVO)

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a 4.155 inch bore and a compressed thickness of .062 inches, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or upgrading Ford Windsor V8 engines like the 289, 302, and 351. The multi-layer stainless steel construction offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the embossed outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This design ensures a strong seal between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, even under the stress of high-output engines, and it doesn't require any additional sealants.

The unique construction of these MLS gaskets allows them to rebound and resist the shearing forces that can occur when mating different block and head materials. The center shim layer can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, and in this case, it's set at .062 inches. This gasket is designed to fit a wide range of Ford Windsor V8 applications, including vehicles like the Ford Bronco, Ford F-Series trucks, and AC Shelby Cobras from various model years.
