Cometic Ford FE V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

The outer layers of this Cometic head gasket are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. This is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket designed for Ford FE V8 engines, featuring a bore size of 4.165 inches and a compressed thickness of .098 inches. It's built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and aluminum or cast iron heads. The multiple layers of stainless steel provide increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the Viton coating ensures a reliable seal in harsh conditions.

Cometic's MLS gaskets are engineered to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .098 inches on this particular gasket. This design helps withstand the shearing forces that can occur when mating different block and head materials, such as aluminum to cast iron. It's a well-built option for rebuilding or upgrading your FE V8's top end, offering improved sealing and durability.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford, Mercury, and Edsel vehicles from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including popular models like the Ford F-100, Ford Galaxie, and Mercury Caliente. Please note that this specific gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine. Always refer to the manufacturer's fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
