Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.125in Bore - SVO/Yates - LHS

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 302 or 351W Windsor V8, you'll find a set of Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets in this package. These gaskets are built with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving them increased strength and the ability to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material designed to handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This construction means they seal well without needing additional sealants, making them a solid choice for both aluminum and cast iron blocks.

The compressed thickness on these gaskets is 0.036 inches, and they are designed for a 4.125-inch bore. The valve pocketed bore design is specific for SVO/Yates applications. Because they are made from multiple layers of stainless steel, these MLS gaskets can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different block and head materials, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. This makes them a well-built option for high-output engines.
