Cometic Ford FE V8 .023in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.250in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your Ford FE V8 engine. Designed for engines that push more power, these gaskets don't require any additional sealants, making installation cleaner. They are built to handle the demands of both aluminum and cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur when different metals meet.

The strength of this gasket comes from its multiple stainless steel layers, which also help it rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in tough sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different engine build needs. This particular gasket has a bore size of 4.250 inches and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, with an uncompressed thickness of 0.023 inches. It's important to note that this gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.

This gasket 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 Galaxie, and Mercury Caliente. If you're rebuilding a high-output FE V8, this MLS gasket offers a solid option for reliable sealing.
