Cometic Ford Big Block 4.40in Bore .045 Compressed Thickness MLS Head Gasket

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Big Block engine, getting the cylinder head sealing right is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a solid seal between your block and heads. It's designed for a 4.40-inch bore and has a compressed thickness of 0.045 inches, making it a precise fit for many Ford 385 Series applications.

What makes these gaskets stand out is their construction. They're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and helps them rebound to resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This means you don't need extra sealants; the gasket itself is designed to seal effectively, whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The stainless steel center layer can also be varied to meet different thickness needs.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles from the late 60s through the 90s, including models like the F-250, E-350 Econoline, and Gran Torino. It's a well-built component that helps ensure your engine's compression stays where it belongs.
