Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .054in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.155in Bore - SVO

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It features a .054 inch thickness and a 4.155 inch bore, making it suitable for a wide range of Ford vehicles like the Bronco, E-Series vans, and Country Squire models from the late 60s through the 90s. MLS gaskets are built to handle the demands of high-output engines and provide a reliable seal without needing additional sealants.

Comprised of multiple stainless steel layers, this gasket offers 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 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a good seal even under tough conditions and across different material combinations like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, with this particular gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches.
