Cometic Ford FE 352-428 111.76mm Bore .060in MLS-5 Head Gasket

If you're working on a Ford FE engine like the 352 or 428, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice for sealing your cylinder heads. It's specifically made to fit engines with a 4.400-inch bore and has a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block. It's built to resist the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They use multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and the ability to rebound, helping to prevent corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.060 inches on this particular gasket. Because of this advanced construction, these gaskets don't require any additional sealants.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the early 1970s, including popular models like the Ford F-100, Ford Fairlane, and Mercury Caliente. Just be aware that it does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.
