Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.100in Bore - SVO/Yates - LHS

Starting with a .098 inch uncompressed thickness, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious performance in Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It features a 4.100 inch bore, making it suitable for SVO/Yates applications and engines like the World Products Man-o-War block. These gaskets are designed to handle the high output demands of modern engines without needing any additional sealants, offering a robust sealing solution for both aluminum and cast iron block combinations.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which not only increases strength but also allows the gasket to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is crucial for meeting the demands of harsh sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to achieve different compressed operating thicknesses, with this particular gasket compressing down to .036 inches.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including classic Broncos, Econoline vans, and custom sedans from the late 60s through the mid-90s. Its robust construction makes it a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your Windsor V8.
