Cometic Ford 385 Series .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket 4.5in Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 385 series engine, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring your combustion chambers stay sealed and your engine runs smoothly. It's designed to work with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, offering flexibility for your build.

This gasket is constructed from 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 temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific needs; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.060 inches and a 4.5-inch bore diameter, making it a good fit for many Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the late 60s through the 90s.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. Just make sure the mating surfaces on your block and heads are clean and flat before installation.
