Cometic Ford 427 SOHC Cammer FE V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore

Starting with a compressed operating thickness of 0.030 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious Ford 427 SOHC Cammer FE V8 engines. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output applications, fitting a wide range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles from the 1960s, including models like the Ford Fairlane, Mercury Comet, and even the Ford Mustang. These gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, giving them increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps maintain a solid seal over time. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring reliable sealing even in harsh conditions and across different surface finishes.

The multi-layer design is ideal for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can effectively manage the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals. Unlike some older gasket types, Cometic MLS gaskets require no additional sealants, simplifying installation. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied by Cometic to meet different thickness requirements, though this specific gasket is set at 0.030 inches compressed thickness. This well-built gasket offers a robust sealing solution for your FE V8 build.
