About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a 1971-1974 Ford Pinto or Mercury Capri, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to handle the demands of your engine. It's specifically designed for the 92.5mm bore size and has a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or replacing your cylinder head gasket.

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°F (250°C). This advanced coating helps ensure a strong seal, even with aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, and it doesn't require any additional sealants.
