Cometic Ford FE 352-428 4.25in Bore .030in MLS Head Gasket

This listing is for one Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, specifically designed for Ford FE engines with a 352 to 428 cubic inch displacement. This gasket features a 4.250 inch bore and a compressed thickness of .030 inches, making it a .030 inch undersize bearing set. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and rebound, and the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This construction allows it to seal effectively between aluminum and cast iron engine blocks and heads, even under high output conditions, and it doesn't require any additional sealants.

The multi-layer steel design provides excellent sealing performance for modern, high-output engines. The Viton coating on the embossed outer layers is chosen for its ability to withstand harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes. The uncoated stainless steel center layer can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine build requirements. This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or modifying your Ford FE V8 engine, offering improved sealing and durability.

Please note that this gasket is designed for standard FE V8 engines and does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer variant. It fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including models like the Ford F-100, Ford Fairlane, and Mercury Caliente.
