Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - SVO/Yates - RHS

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket, specifically designed for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It features a compressed thickness of .027 inches and a 4.180-inch bore, making it suitable for a wide range of Ford vehicles, including the Bronco, F-Series trucks, and Econoline vans. These gaskets are essential for sealing the combustion chamber and preventing coolant and oil leaks between the cylinder head and the engine block, especially in high-output applications.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even under demanding conditions. This construction means the gasket can handle the forces created when mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, and it doesn't require any additional sealants for installation. The center layer is also stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements.
