Cometic Ford 427 SOHC Cammer FE V8 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore

Starting with a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious performance. It's constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and maintain a solid seal. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material designed to handle tough sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes. This makes it a great choice for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between these materials.

The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, but this specific gasket is set at 0.051 inches compressed. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. This gasket is well-suited for high-output engines and is designed to provide maximum sealing performance. It fits a wide range of classic Ford and Mercury vehicles, including models like the 1963-1968 Ford Country Squire and the 1964-1969 Ford Fairlane.
