Cometic Ford Boss 302 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore

The outer layers of this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. This gasket is specifically made for the Ford Boss 302 engine with a 4.080-inch bore, suitable for SVO heads and the M-6010-BOSS302 block, fitting your 1969-1971 DeTomaso Mangusta, Ford Mustang, or Mercury Cougar.

MLS head gaskets are built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The embossed outer layers with Viton coating ensure a strong seal without needing additional sealants, making them ideal for engines with aluminum heads paired with either aluminum or cast iron blocks. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, with this particular gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches.
