Cometic Ford FE V8 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.250in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

Starting with a compressed operating thickness of .027 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for the demands of Ford FE V8 engines. It features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This construction is ideal for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

The multi-layer steel design provides increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, making it adaptable for various engine builds. Because these MLS gaskets require no additional sealants, they offer a clean and effective sealing solution for high-output engines. This gasket has a 4.250-inch bore and is designed for a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles, including models like the Ford F-100, Fairlane, and Mercury Caliente, but it does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.
