Cometic Ford FE V8 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.300in 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 choice for rebuilding or upgrading. It's designed with a specific bore size of 4.300 inches and a compressed thickness of .080 inches, making it suitable for a wide variety of FE V8 applications like the Ford F-Series trucks, Galaxie, Fairlane, and Thunderbird from the late 50s through the early 70s. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines without needing extra sealants.

Cometic's MLS gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal even between aluminum and cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .080 inches on this particular gasket, which is ideal for setting proper compression ratios in performance builds.
