Cometic Ford 385 Series .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.500in Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 385 series engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure and coolant. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is built for those high-output applications where stock gaskets might not hold up.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes, making it suitable for aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks. The compressed thickness is .051 inches, and the bore size is 4.500 inches, designed to work with the Ford 385 series engine. Because they are MLS, they don't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the late 60s through the 90s, including models like the Ford F-250, E-350 Econoline, and Lincoln Continental. Ensure you have the correct bore size and thickness for your specific engine build.
