Cometic Ford 335 Series V8 .120in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.100in Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Ford 335 Series V8 Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury V8 engine from the late 60s through the mid-80s, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and block. It's built with a compressed thickness of .120 inches and a 4.100-inch bore, making it suitable for a range of these classic V8 applications.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and withstand the forces created when mating different metals like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is tough and can handle various sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes, meaning it won't break down easily. The center layer is also stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing needs, which is how Cometic achieves the .120-inch compressed thickness for this specific gasket.

Because it's a Multi-Layer Steel gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, which simplifies installation. This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or repairing engines in vehicles like the Ford F-150, Mercury Cougar, or DeTomaso Pantera from the specified years.
