Cometic Ford FE V8 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

If you're working on a Ford FE V8 engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading. It's designed with a compressed thickness of .080 inches and a bore size of 4.165 inches, suitable for a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including models like the Ford F-100 and Mercury Caliente. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, providing a reliable seal between your cylinder heads and engine block.

Cometic uses 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 good seal even under tough conditions. This construction means you don't need to use any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. MLS gaskets are also effective when mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the stresses that arise from different materials.

This particular gasket is specified not to fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine. Always double-check your specific engine application and bore size to ensure compatibility before installation.
