About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for specific Ford Boss 302 applications. You get one MLS head gasket with a 4.200 inch bore and a nominal thickness of .027 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, whether you're working with aluminum heads on aluminum blocks or aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. The multi-layer stainless steel construction offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments.

The MLS design means this gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, with this particular gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches. This well-built gasket is suitable for use with World Products Man-o-War blocks and Ford SVO heads.
