Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.100in Bore - SVO/Yates - LHS

If you're rebuilding the top end of a Ford 302 or 351 Windsor V8, especially for performance applications, a quality head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a solid seal between your cylinder head and block. It's built to work with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and it's specifically for the left side of the engine.

Cometic 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 temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different surface finishes. This construction means the gasket provides maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements; in this case, it's set at a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches with a 4.100-inch bore, making it suitable for SVO/Yates applications.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles from the late 60s through the 90s, including models like the Ford Bronco, F-Series trucks, and Econoline vans. It's a well-built component for anyone looking to ensure a reliable seal during their engine build.
