Cometic Ford FE V8 .075in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Ford FE V8 engines. It has a compressed thickness of 0.075 inches and a bore size of 4.165 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of FE V8 applications like the Ford F-Series trucks, Galaxie, and Fairlane models from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s. This gasket is specifically engineered to handle the demands of high-output engines and is built to provide a reliable seal without needing additional sealants.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets 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 handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a strong seal even in harsh conditions. This layered design also helps manage the shearing forces that can occur between aluminum and cast iron engine blocks and heads, making them a solid option for various engine builds. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses.
