Cometic Ford FE V8 .030in 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 stainless steel layers, featuring Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. The compressed operating thickness is .030 inches, and it's designed for a 4.080-inch bore, specifically for Ford FE V8 engines, though it does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer variant.

MLS gaskets are a solid choice for high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. They work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, handling the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of handling harsh sealing environments and various load conditions, up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit.

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. It's a well-built component designed to handle the demands of performance engines.
