Cometic Ford 351 Cleveland 4.100 inch Bore .030 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a 4.100 inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.030 inches, specifically for Ford 351 Cleveland engines. It's constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers featuring a heat-resistant Viton rubber coating. This design is ideal for high-output engines and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, helping to prevent issues caused by the shearing forces between different metals.

The strength of MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also allows them to rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.030 inch compressed thickness found in this gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury V8 vehicles, including models like the Ford Bronco, F-150, and Mercury Cougar. Because it requires no additional sealants, installation is straightforward, making it a solid option for engine rebuilds or repairs.
