Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - SVO

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. This construction is specifically designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, offering maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. It's a solid choice whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block, as it can effectively manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The strength of MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel design, which allows them to rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different application needs, like the .045 inch compressed thickness on this particular gasket. This gasket fits a wide range of Ford V8 engines, including popular models like the Ford Bronco, E-Series vans, and Country Squire wagons from various years.
