Cometic Ford 385 Series .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.670in Bore

Starting with the .098 inch thickness and a 4.670 inch bore, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious sealing. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it strength and the ability to rebound, which helps it handle the forces in high-output engines. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing jobs and different surface finishes, making it suitable for applications with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks.

This gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing extra sealants. The multiple stainless steel layers not only add strength but also resist corrosion. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine build requirements, like this one which has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches. This well-built gasket is a solid option for many Ford 385 series engines, including those found in vehicles like the Ford F-250, Ford LTD, and Mercury Marquis from the late 60s through the late 80s.
