Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.060in Bore - SVO

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, specifically sized for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines with a 4.060-inch bore. It's designed with a compressed thickness of .030 inches, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or upgrading these popular Ford V8s. These gaskets are built to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a reliable seal without needing additional sealants.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets from multiple layers of stainless steel. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This construction provides increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps prevent leaks even when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The stainless steel layers also resist corrosion and can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different block and head materials.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles from the late 1960s through the mid-1990s, including models like the Ford Bronco, E-Series vans, and Country Squire wagons. It's a well-built component for anyone working on these classic Ford V8 engines.
