Cometic Ford FE V8 .092in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.250in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

If you're rebuilding the top end of a Ford FE V8 engine, getting the right cylinder head gasket is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built for those high-output engines, offering a reliable seal without needing extra sealants. It's designed to handle the demands of both aluminum heads on cast iron blocks and aluminum heads on aluminum blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in tough sealing environments. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of .092 inches and a bore size of 4.250 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the 1970s, like the Ford F-100, Galaxie, and Mercury Caliente. Just be aware it won't fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.
