Cometic Ford FE V8 .075in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.300in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

This product is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Ford FE V8 engines. It features a 4.300-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .075 inches. This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material. This construction helps ensure a strong seal, even with aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, and can handle the shearing forces between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine needs. This gasket is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Ford F-100, Ford Fairlane, and Ford Thunderbird, and is ideal for high-output engine builds.

The multi-layer steel design offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the Viton coating on the outer layers is designed to perform well in demanding sealing environments and withstand high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require additional sealants, simplifying installation. This gasket is specifically designed for World Products Man-o-War blocks and does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.
