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

This product is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It features a 4.180-inch bore and an operating thickness of 0.036 inches when compressed, with an initial thickness of 0.080 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Bronco, E-150 Econoline, and Country Squire.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating ensures a strong seal, even with different block and head materials like aluminum to aluminum or aluminum to cast iron, and it doesn't require any additional sealants. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for varied thickness requirements.
