Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.200in Bore - SVO/Yates - RHS

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 302 or 351 Windsor V8, getting the cylinder head gaskets right is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures of high-output engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and block without needing any extra sealants.

Cometic's MLS design 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 is ideal whether you're mating aluminum heads to an aluminum block or aluminum heads to cast iron. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, like the .045 inch compressed thickness on this particular gasket, which also features a valve-pocketed bore for specific applications like SVO/Yates or RHS heads.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including popular models like the Bronco and Econoline vans, as well as classic cars like the DeTomaso Pantera. It's designed for a direct fit, simplifying installation when you're putting your engine back together.
