Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - SVO/Yates - RHS

Built with multiple layers of stainless steel, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket features a .030 inch compressed thickness and a 4.180 inch bore, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or upgrading your Ford 302 or 351 Windsor V8 engine. These gaskets are designed for high-output engines and are built to seal effectively without needing additional sealants, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks. The multi-layer stainless steel construction provides increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while also allowing the gasket to rebound and maintain a strong seal under varying conditions.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating is engineered to perform in demanding sealing environments and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, like the .030 inch compressed thickness found on this specific gasket. This design helps manage the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar block and head materials.

This gasket is intended for the right side of the engine and is suitable for a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford E-Series vans, and DeTomaso Pantera. It's a well-built component designed to meet the sealing needs of performance-oriented Windsor V8 applications.
