Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.030in Bore - SVO

Starting with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, these Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are built to handle the demands of high-output engines. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a solid seal even in harsh conditions. This construction makes them ideal for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can effectively manage the shearing forces between different metals.

The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, with this particular gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches and a bore size of 4.030 inches. Because they are made from multiple layers of stainless steel, these gaskets offer increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. They are designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including many Bronco, E-Series vans, and Country Squire models from the late 60s through the 90s.
