Cometic Ford FE V8 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Ford FE V8 engines. You get a pair of gaskets, each with a compressed thickness of .036 inches and a bore size of 4.080 inches. These gaskets are designed to seal the combustion chamber and coolant passages between your cylinder heads and engine block, crucial for maintaining compression and preventing leaks in high-output applications.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets from multiple layers of stainless steel. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with various surface finishes. This construction provides increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the embossed layers help ensure a solid seal without needing additional sealants. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .036 inches found here.

This gasket is a solid option for many Ford and Mercury V8 engines, including models like the Ford F-100, Fairlane, and Mercury Caliente. It's important to note that this specific gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine. Always refer to the manufacturer's fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
