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

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, specifically made for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It features a 4.200-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .045 inches. These gaskets are a solid choice for rebuilding or upgrading engines that see a lot of use, whether you're working with aluminum or cast iron blocks and heads.

What makes these gaskets stand out is their construction. They're built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and helps them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating helps create a really effective seal, even on rougher surface finishes, and means you don't need to use any extra sealants during installation. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like this .045-inch version.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Ford Bronco, E-Series vans, and F-Series trucks from the late 60s through the 90s. It's designed to handle the demands of higher-output engines, providing a reliable seal for your rebuild.
