Cometic Ford FE V8 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

This product includes one Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Ford FE V8 engines. It features a 4.400-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches. This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance, and its outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle demanding sealing environments without needing additional sealants.

MLS gaskets are a solid choice for engines with high output, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block. The layered stainless steel construction helps manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metal types. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, while the Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a reliable seal even under tough conditions, resisting heat up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the early 1970s, including models like the Ford F-100, Galaxie, and Mercury Caliente. Please note that this specific gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.
