Cometic Ford FE V8 .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford FE V8, getting the cylinder head gaskets seated right is crucial for a good seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built for that job, offering a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches and designed for a 4.080-inch bore. It's a solid option for many Ford and Mercury V8 engines from the late 50s through the 70s, including popular models like the F-100, Galaxie, and Fairlane.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance, which also helps the gasket rebound and maintain its seal. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes, meaning you don't need additional sealants. This construction makes them suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and they can handle the stresses of high-output engines.

This particular gasket is designed for the Ford FE V8 engine family but does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer variant. It's a well-built component that aims to provide reliable sealing for your engine rebuild.
