Cometic Ford 385 Series .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in 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 Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, offering a reliable seal without needing extra sealants.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and different surface finishes. This construction helps prevent leaks and withstands the forces created when mating different block and head materials, like aluminum to cast iron. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, like the .086 inch on this particular gasket, which also features a 4.400 inch bore to match your engine's needs.

This gasket is designed to fit a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles from the late 1960s through the late 1980s, including models like the Ford F-250, Lincoln Continental, and Mercury Marquis. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm it's the right part for your specific application.
