Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - SVO/Yates - LHS

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed thickness of 0.056 inches and a 4.180-inch bore. It's specifically designed for the left side of Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines, including SVO/Yates applications. MLS gaskets are a solid choice for high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants, making them suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations. They can handle the shearing forces that arise between different block and head materials.

The strength of these gaskets comes from their multiple stainless steel layers, which also allow them to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F (250°C). Viton is known for its ability to handle harsh sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including Ford Broncos, Econoline vans, and F-Series trucks from various years. It's a well-built component designed to provide reliable sealing for your engine build.
