Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - SVO/Yates - LHS

This is the Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It's designed with a compressed thickness of .036 inches and a 4.180-inch bore, specifically for the left-hand side (LHS) of SVO/Yates applications. These gaskets are built to handle the demands of high-output engines and are suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, as well as aluminum heads.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This construction means the gasket provides maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Bronco, E-Series vans, and F-Series trucks from the late 60s through the 90s, as well as some Bricklin and DeTomaso applications. It's a well-built component designed for reliable sealing in performance applications.
