Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.100in Bore - SVO/Yates - LHS

Starting with a compressed thickness of .036 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious sealing. It's specifically designed for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines, including SVO/Yates applications, and this particular gasket is for the left-hand side. MLS gaskets are a smart choice for modern engines that push more power because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing any extra sealants.

What makes these gaskets stand out is their construction. They use multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion and handle the stresses between aluminum and cast iron blocks. 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 Viton coating is tough and designed to work well in harsh sealing environments, ensuring a solid seal even under demanding conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and Cometic uses different thicknesses here to meet various engine build requirements.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, from classic Broncos and F-Series trucks to custom sedans and Econoline vans. It's a well-built component for anyone rebuilding or refreshing their Windsor V8 engine.
