Cometic Ford 385 Series .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.500in Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 385 series engine, getting the head gasket right is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output applications, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably.

This 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 coating, along with embossed layers, helps create a maximum seal without needing any extra sealants, making installation straightforward. It's designed to work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metal types.

With a compressed operating thickness of 0.027 inches and a bore size of 4.500 inches, this gasket is designed for a precise fit. It's a popular choice for a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the late 60s through the 90s, including models like the Ford F-250 and Lincoln Continental.
