Cometic Ford Boss 302 .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.155in Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1969-1971 DeTomaso Mangusta, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for sealing combustion pressure. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is designed specifically for high-output engines like the Boss 302, ensuring a solid seal between the cylinder head and the block.

Cometic builds these gaskets with 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 tough sealing conditions and various surface finishes, meaning you don't need to add any sealants. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to achieve different compressed operating thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of .036 inches and a bore size of 4.155 inches, suitable for World Products Man-o-War blocks and SVO heads.

This gasket is a well-built option for both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and it's designed to withstand the forces created when mating different metals. It's a popular choice for performance builds where reliable sealing is a top priority.
