Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - SVO/Yates - RHS

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring outer layers coated with Viton rubber. This construction is designed to provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines, and it doesn't require any additional sealants. MLS gaskets are a solid choice for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The multiple stainless steel layers give these gaskets increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes.

The center shim layer is made of uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, with this specific gasket offering a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches and a 4.180-inch bore diameter. This gasket is specifically for the right side of Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 engines, including those used in SVO/Yates and RHS applications. It's a well-built component designed to meet the challenges of modern performance engines, offering a reliable seal for a wide range of Ford vehicles from the late 1960s through the mid-1990s, such as the Ford Bronco, E-Series vans, and various Ford sedans and wagons.
