Cometic Ford SVO 302/351 4.1 inch Bore .045 Inch MLS Left Side Head Gasket

This is the left side Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket for Ford SVO 302/351 Windsor V8 engines with a 4.100 inch bore. It has a compressed thickness of 0.045 inches. MLS head gaskets are built for high-output engines and are designed to seal effectively without needing additional sealants, making them a solid choice for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations.

Cometic constructs these gaskets from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping to resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating is tough enough for various harsh sealing environments and surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness adjustments like the 0.045 inches found on this specific gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Bronco, E-Series vans, and F-Series trucks, as well as classic performance models like the DeTomaso Pantera. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or repairing your engine's top end.
