Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.155 inch Bore .070 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (Non SVO)

If you're rebuilding the top end of a Ford Windsor V8 engine, like those found in a classic Bronco or a Pantera, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and block.

Cometic constructs these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and rebound resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific build requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of .070 inches and a bore size of 4.155 inches, designed for Ford 289, 302, and 351 Windsor engines (Non-SVO). Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
