Cometic Ford FE V8 .070in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.250in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

Cometic is known for making well-built gaskets that seal reliably, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is no exception. It’s built for Ford FE V8 engines and features a compressed thickness of 0.070 inches with a 4.250-inch bore. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines without needing any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

The construction 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. This makes it a solid choice for combining aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.070 inches on this particular gasket.

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. Please note that this specific gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.
