Cometic Ford FE V8 .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for engine components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output Ford FE V8 engines. It features a 4.400-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .045 inches, designed to provide a strong seal for a wide range of vehicles including models like the Ford F-100, Ford Galaxie, and Mercury Caliente. This gasket is engineered to work with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, offering a robust solution for engine rebuilds or performance upgrades.

The construction of this gasket 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 that can handle harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal without the need for additional sealants. The center shim layer is also stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control. This design helps to withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different block and head materials, making it a solid option for demanding applications.
