What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness for this Cometic MLS head gasket is 0.070 inches. This measurement is crucial for ensuring proper cylinder head to block sealing once the gasket is installed.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of synthetic rubber that is highly resistant to heat and harsh chemicals. It's used here as a coating on the outer layers of the gasket to provide a reliable seal in demanding engine environments, capable of withstanding high temperatures.

Do I need to use any sealant with this gasket?

No, Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require any additional sealants.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. With a compressed operating thickness of 0.070 inches and a bore size of 92.5mm, it’s specifically made for the Ford EAO and Cosworth YB engines found in your 1971-1974 Ford Pinto or Mercury Capri.

MLS gaskets are a strong choice for high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants. They handle the shearing forces between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks well, and the multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material, capable of handling temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes.
