What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness for this Cometic MLS head gasket is .060 inches. This measurement is crucial for ensuring proper compression ratios and valve-to-piston clearance.

Does this gasket require any additional sealants?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require the use of additional sealants. Their multi-layer construction and Viton coating ensure a tight seal.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a heat-resistant synthetic rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). It's used on the outer layers of this gasket to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and ensure durability under high heat conditions.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. This gasket is specifically designed for the left side of Ford 4.6L V-8 engines, featuring a 92mm bore and a compressed thickness of .060 inches. It's built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a strong seal between your cylinder head and block without needing any extra sealants.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in tough sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control. This construction makes it suitable for applications with aluminum heads on aluminum blocks, or aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

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