Cometic Ford 289/302/351 4.200 inch Bore .080 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (Non SVO)

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for creating solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's built specifically for Ford Windsor V8 engines, like those found in classic Broncos, Panteras, and many Ford trucks from the 60s through the 90s. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and resilience. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit and works well with different surface finishes. This multi-layer design, with a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches and a 4.200-inch bore, means it can accommodate the stresses between aluminum and cast iron components without needing additional sealants. The center layer is also stainless steel, and Cometic can vary this layer to meet different thickness needs, though this specific gasket is set at 0.080 inches.
