What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic MLS head gasket is 0.120 inches. This measurement is achieved through the specific design of its multi-layer steel construction.

Can this gasket be used with aluminum heads and a cast iron block?

Yes, the Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction is ideal for applications combining aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks. The design helps withstand the shearing forces created between these different materials.

Does this gasket require any special installation 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. Proper installation according to manufacturer guidelines is still essential.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. It's designed for the right side of Ford 4.6L V-8 engines and has a compressed operating thickness of 0.120 inches with a 94mm bore. This gasket is a solid choice for rebuilding or repairing engines that see higher output, as the MLS construction offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, helping it withstand the demands of modern engines without needing additional sealants. It's suitable for applications with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multi-layer design can handle the shearing forces between dissimilar metals.

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers is heat resistant up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it capable of handling harsh sealing environments and varying load conditions. The center layer of stainless steel can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements, and in this case, it's set to provide the 0.120-inch compressed thickness. This gasket fits a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, including models like the Ford F-150, Ford Crown Victoria, and Mercury Grand Marquis, making it a versatile option for many 4.6L V8 applications.
