Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.195in Bore - SVO

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, offering a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches. It's a solid choice for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, effectively managing the shearing forces that can arise between different metals.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their multiple stainless steel layers, which also provide resistance to corrosion and allow for rebound. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This makes it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various load conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements, like this .027 inch version for specific Ford Windsor V8 applications.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Bronco, E-150 Econoline, and F-100. Because it requires no additional sealants, installation is straightforward, making it a popular option for engine rebuilds and performance upgrades.
