Cometic Ford 385 Series .092in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.670in Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 385 Series engine, getting the cylinder head gasket seated correctly is crucial for sealing combustion pressures and coolant. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for that job, designed to handle the demands of higher output engines that might push stock gaskets past their limits. It fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 60s through the late 80s, including models like the Ford F-250 and Mercury Grand Marquis.

What makes this gasket stand out 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 on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes. This coating means you don't need to use any extra sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, like the .092 inch this gasket offers, with a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches.

This gasket is a solid option for both aluminum heads on aluminum blocks and aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals. If you're looking for a well-built gasket that can handle increased performance, this Cometic MLS gasket is a good choice.
