Cometic Ford FE V8 .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.300in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford FE V8, you'll get a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket. This gasket is designed with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, and the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material. The compressed operating thickness is .036 inches, and it has a 4.300-inch bore. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks.

Cometic's MLS gaskets are well-built and don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while also allowing the gasket to rebound. The Viton coating on the outer layers is designed to perform in harsh sealing environments and under various load conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements, with this specific gasket set to a .086-inch thickness before compression.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford FE V8 engines, including models like the Ford F-100, Ford Fairlane, and Ford Galaxie. It's important to note that this specific gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine. Ensure you check the fitment details to confirm it's the right choice for your specific application.
