Cometic Ford 385 Series .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of a Ford 385 series engine, getting the cylinder head gaskets 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 tight.

Cometic uses 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 various surface finishes, meaning you don't need to add extra sealants. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness, which is how this gasket achieves its 0.080-inch compressed operating thickness with a 4.400-inch bore. This design is well-suited for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This gasket is designed to fit 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. It's a well-built component that helps ensure a reliable seal for your engine rebuild.
