Cometic Ford FE V8 .120in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.250in Bore - Does Not Fit 427 SOHC Cammer

This is the Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket for Ford FE V8 engines. It has a bore size of 4.250 inches and a compressed thickness of .120 inches. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, as well as aluminum heads. It's important to note that this specific gasket does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer engine.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This construction means the gasket seals effectively without needing additional sealants, and it's built to withstand the forces generated when mating different block and head materials. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different engine build requirements, with this particular gasket set to a .120 inch operating thickness.

This gasket fits a broad range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including popular models like the Ford F-Series trucks, Fairlane, Galaxie, and Mercury Cougar. Always double-check your specific vehicle's fitment details to ensure compatibility.
