Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.200 inch Bore .070 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (Non SVO)

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's built for Ford Windsor V8 engines with a 4.200-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.070 inches. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block. The multiple stainless steel layers give it strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is tough and can deal with various sealing environments and surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements, which is how Cometic achieves the 0.070-inch compressed thickness for this specific gasket. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including classic Broncos, F-Series trucks, and even some performance models like the De Tomaso Pantera. It's a well-built option for rebuilding or upgrading your Ford V8 engine.
