Cometic Ford 385 Series .089in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.500in Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a Ford 385 series engine, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of higher output builds. It features a 4.500-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .089 inches, making it suitable for a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles from the late 60s through the late 80s, like the Ford F-250, Lincoln Continental, and Mercury Cougar.

What sets this gasket apart is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This advanced coating, combined with the embossed outer layers, ensures a solid seal even with different block and head materials, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .089 inches on this specific part.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it's built for maximum sealing performance and doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying your installation process. This makes it a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your engine's top end.
