Cometic Ford FE V8 .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket specifically for Ford FE V8 engines. It measures .045 inches thick with a 4.080-inch bore, and it's important to note that it does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer variant. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, providing a strong seal without needing additional sealants. It's well-suited for combinations of aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multi-layer steel construction can manage the stresses between different metals.

The MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of sealing effectively in harsh environments and under various load conditions. The center layer is stainless steel, allowing for different thickness options to meet specific build requirements. This well-built gasket is a popular choice for rebuilding or upgrading FE V8 engines found in a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s.
