Cometic Ford FE V8 .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

If you're working on a Ford FE V8 engine and need a reliable head gasket, this Cometic MLS gasket is a solid option. It's designed with a 4.080-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of FE V8 applications, though it specifically does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer. This gasket fits many Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the 1970s, including models like the Ford F-100, Galaxie, and Mercury Caliente.

Cometic's Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction uses multiple embossed stainless steel layers. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This design provides excellent sealing performance for high-output engines without needing additional sealants, and it's well-suited for joining aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks because it can handle the stresses between dissimilar metals. The center layer is stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine build needs.
