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. If you're working on a 1969-1971 DeTomaso Mangusta, especially one with a Ford Boss 302 engine, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output performance. It's built to provide maximum sealing performance right out of the box, meaning you won't need any extra sealants during installation.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it suitable for sealing between different block and head materials, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, and it can withstand the shearing forces that can occur. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; in this case, the gasket has a nominal thickness of .027 inches, resulting in a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches.
