What is the purpose of the Viton coating on the head gasket?

The Viton coating on the outer layers of the gasket is a heat-resistant rubber material. It helps create a strong seal in harsh environments, handling high temperatures and various load conditions effectively.

Can I use this gasket with aluminum heads and a cast iron block?

Yes, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to work well with both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. They are built to withstand the shearing forces created by these different materials.

Does this gasket come with any hardware or require additional sealants?

This head gasket is designed to be installed without any additional sealants. The manufacturer's description does not mention included hardware, so it's recommended to check if new head bolts or other components are needed for your specific engine rebuild.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a Ford 4.6L Modular V8 engine, this gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance, especially for those high-output builds. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and resistance to corrosion, and the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments.

This particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 95.25mm, and it includes a Darton Solid Sleeve for added support. MLS gaskets are a great choice for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks because they can handle the different expansion rates and shearing forces. They don't require any additional sealants, making installation straightforward.

This gasket is specifically for the left-hand side of the engine. It fits a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including models like the Ford Mustang, F-150, and Expedition, as well as the Lincoln Navigator.
