Cometic Ford 302/351 4.060in Round Bore .098in MLS Head Gasket

Starting with the Viton rubber coating on both outer layers, these Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are built to seal tough applications. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for the demanding conditions found in high-output Ford 302 and 351 Windsor engines. This gasket is designed for a 4.060 inch bore and has a compressed thickness of .098 inches, which is a common specification for many performance builds.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which not only increases strength but also allows the gasket to rebound and resist corrosion. This construction is well-suited for pairings of aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals. Because they are designed for maximum sealing performance, these gaskets typically do not require any additional sealants.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including many Bronco, E-Series Econoline vans, and Country Squire models from the late 60s through the 90s. It's a solid option when you're rebuilding the top end of your engine and need a reliable seal.
