Cometic Ford FE V8 .120in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s designed for Ford FE V8 engines with a 4.165-inch bore, offering a compressed thickness of .036 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, making it a solid choice for rebuilds or performance applications. It's important to note that this specific gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is designed to seal effectively in tough conditions and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, even when paired with aluminum heads. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .120 inch this gasket is set up for.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including popular models like the Ford F-100, Ford Fairlane, and Mercury Caliente. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
