About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, 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.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This advanced coating is built to perform in tough sealing environments and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, even when paired with aluminum heads. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied in thickness, with this specific gasket set to a compressed operating thickness of 0.040 inches for a 4.030-inch bore.

Because these MLS gaskets provide maximum sealing performance, they don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. This makes them a solid option for rebuilding or maintaining your engine's top end.
