Cometic Ford FE V8 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Ford FE V8 engines with a 4.165-inch bore. It has a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches and is built to handle the demands of high-output engines. 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, Ford Galaxie, and Mercury Caliente.

The gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even in harsh conditions. This construction means the gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks and heads, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
