Cometic Ford 385 Series .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore

Starting with a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious sealing performance. It’s constructed from multiple 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-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

The stainless steel layers provide increased strength and resilience, allowing the gasket to rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a tough, heat-resistant material designed to handle demanding sealing environments, load conditions, and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, which can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, like the 0.060 inch specification on this particular gasket. Because it's an MLS gasket, it requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation. This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the late 60s through the mid-90s, including models like the Ford F-250, E-350 Econoline, and Lincoln Continental.
