Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.150in Bore - SVO/Yates - LHS

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer layer coated with Viton rubber. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482 F (250 C) and handles tough sealing environments, load conditions, and various surface finishes, making it ideal for high-output engines. The center shim layer is stainless steel, allowing for varied thickness requirements. These MLS gaskets are well-suited for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block combinations, as they can manage the shearing forces between different metals. They offer increased strength and corrosion resistance due to their multi-layer stainless steel construction and are designed to seal effectively without needing additional sealants.

With a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 4.150 inches, this gasket is specifically sized at 0.040 inches undersize for applications like the SVO/Yates blocks. This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles from the 1960s through the 1990s, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford E-Series vans, and the DeTomaso Pantera, ensuring a solid option for many Windsor V8 builds.
