Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - SVO

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket starts with a compressed thickness of .098 inches and a 4.080-inch bore, making it a solid choice for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. MLS gaskets are well-built for today's higher-output engines, offering a significant improvement over older composite designs. They are designed to handle the stresses between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, or even aluminum to aluminum setups, without needing extra sealants.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating is tough enough for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control to meet specific engine build requirements.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Bronco, E-Series vans, and Country Squire wagons from various years. It's a well-made component for rebuilding or upgrading your Windsor V8.
