Cometic Ford FE V8 .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

Cometic's Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, giving them the strength needed for high-output engines. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making these gaskets ideal for sealing aluminum heads to cast iron blocks or vice-versa. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .056 inch compressed operating thickness on this particular gasket, which has a 4.165 inch bore.

These gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants, and their multi-layer construction offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion. They are well-suited for a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including popular models like the Ford F-Series trucks, Fairlane, and Galaxie, as well as Mercury Brougham and Caliente.
