Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - SVO

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket specifically made for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It features a compressed thickness of .027 inches and a bore size of 4.080 inches, designed for SVO applications. MLS head gaskets are a solid choice for high-output engines because they offer excellent sealing performance without needing any additional sealants. They work well with different block and head material combinations, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, and can handle the stresses that arise from those pairings.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is tough and designed to seal effectively in demanding conditions and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine build requirements.
