Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - SVO

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, specifically designed for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It has a bore size of 4.080 inches and an uncompressed thickness of .086 inches, with a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces between different metals.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant synthetic rubber that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This Viton coating ensures a strong seal even under challenging conditions and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for different thickness options to meet specific engine build requirements. These MLS gaskets do not require any additional sealants for installation.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including popular models like the Ford Bronco, E-150 Econoline, and Country Squire, spanning many production years. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or upgrading your Windsor V8 engine.
