Cometic Ford 385 Series .066in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a specific design in mind: sealing high-output engines reliably. It features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers coated in Viton rubber. This construction means it's ready to handle the demands of engines with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The compressed operating thickness is precisely 0.066 inches, and the bore is 4.400 inches, making it suitable for a range of Ford 385 series applications.

The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material designed to perform in harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes, up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for thickness variations to meet specific engine needs. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. These gaskets are well-built and offer increased strength due to their layered stainless steel construction, which also helps them rebound and resist corrosion.

This gasket fits a variety of vehicles, including models like the Ford F-250, Ford E-350 Econoline, and Lincoln Continental from various years. It's a solid option when you need dependable sealing for your engine rebuild.
