Cometic Ford FE 352-428 4.25in Bore .056in MLS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford FE engine, specifically a 352, 360, 390, or 428, a quality head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure and coolant. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these classic V8s, offering a robust sealing solution that doesn't require additional sealants.

Cometic's MLS design 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 high temperatures and varied surface finishes, making it suitable for combinations of aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks. This particular gasket has a 4.25-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.056 inches, designed to fit a wide range of Ford FE engines from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including popular models like the Ford F-Series trucks and Galaxie cars. It's important to note that this gasket is not compatible with the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.

This gasket is a solid option for anyone looking for a durable sealing surface that can withstand the rigors of a rebuilt or performance-oriented FE V8. Ensure you have the correct bore size and thickness for your specific application to achieve optimal performance and longevity.
