Product Details
Cometic Gasket is well-known for making dependable sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s built for Ford 351 Cleveland engines with a 4.100 inch bore and a compressed thickness of .098 inches. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a solid seal without needing any extra sealants.
This MLS gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it suitable for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine requirements.
This gasket fits a wide range of Ford, Mercury, and De Tomaso vehicles from the late 60s through the mid-80s, including models like the Ford F-150, Mercury Cougar, and De Tomaso Pantera. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or upgrading your engine.
