Cometic Ford FE V8 .066in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.250in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed for Ford FE V8 engines with a 4.250-inch bore, offering a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The strength of this MLS gasket comes from its multiple stainless steel layers, which also help it rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is tough enough for various sealing environments and surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for different thickness requirements. This gasket is designed to seal effectively without the need for additional sealants.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury V8 vehicles from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including models like the Ford F-100, Ford Galaxie, and Mercury Caliente. Please note that this specific gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.
