Cometic Ford 4.6/5.4L Modular V8 .052in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 94mm Bore - LHS

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. This design is crucial for sealing high-output engines, especially when mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that arise between different metals. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes.

The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, with this particular gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches from its 0.052-inch nominal thickness. Because it's constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, these gaskets offer increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion. They are designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles, including models like the Ford F-150, Crown Victoria, and Mercury Grand Marquis, among many others. It's a solid option when you need reliable sealing for your modular V8 engine rebuild or repair.
