Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - SVO/Yates - LHS

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a .045 inch compressed thickness and a 4.180 inch bore. It's specifically designed for the left side (LHS) of Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines, including SVO/Yates applications. These gaskets are a solid choice for rebuilding or upgrading your engine, offering maximum sealing performance for high-output builds without needing additional sealants.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is designed to perform well in harsh sealing environments and under various load conditions. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and resilience, helping to resist corrosion and withstand the forces generated between aluminum and cast iron blocks, or between two aluminum blocks. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, making MLS gaskets adaptable for many engine builds.

This gasket is designed to fit a wide range of Ford vehicles, including classic Broncos, Econoline vans, and custom sedans from the late 60s through the 90s. It's a well-built component that helps ensure a reliable seal for your engine's top end.
