Cometic Ford FE V8 .120in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Ford FE V8 engines, featuring a 4.080-inch bore and a 0.120-inch thickness. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the 1970s, including models like the Ford F-100 and Mercury Caliente. This gasket is constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material. This construction helps prevent leaks and resists corrosion, making it suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.120-inch spec on this particular gasket.

The MLS design offers increased strength and the ability to rebound, which is crucial for sealing high-performance engines. Because of its robust construction and Viton coating, this gasket does not require additional sealants, simplifying installation. It's engineered to withstand the shearing forces that can occur when mating different block and head materials, such as aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading the top end of your FE V8 engine.
