Cometic Ford FE 352-428 4.165in Bore .036in MLS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford FE V8 engine, specifically models like the 352 or 428, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice. It's designed with a 4.165-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of classic Ford and Mercury V8 applications from the late 1950s through the early 1970s, including models like the Ford F-100, Galaxie, and Mercury Brougham.

This gasket is built from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine build needs.
