Cometic Ford FE 352-428 4.400in Bore .036 inch MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s built for Ford FE engines with 352 to 428 cubic inch displacements and a 4.400-inch bore. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, providing a reliable seal without needing extra sealants.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They use multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing jobs and various surface finishes, even when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the early 1970s, including models like the Ford F-100, Ford Fairlane, and Mercury Caliente. Just be sure it's not for the 427 SOHC cammer engine.
