Cometic Ford FE V8 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, providing maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit and can handle tough sealing environments, load conditions, and various surface finishes.

The center layer of stainless steel can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, and in this case, the compressed operating thickness is .027 inches. This gasket is well-suited for engines using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multi-layer steel construction can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between these materials. It also offers increased strength and the ability to rebound, while the stainless steel resists corrosion.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford FE V8 engines from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including popular models like the Ford F-Series trucks, Fairlane, Galaxie, and Mercury models. Please note that this specific gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine. It's a solid option for rebuilding or replacing head gaskets on these classic V8s.
