Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - With AFR Heads

Starting with a compressed thickness of 0.030 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Ford Windsor V8 engines, specifically when using AFR heads and a 4.080-inch bore. MLS gaskets are a smart choice for high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants. They work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, handling the different expansion rates between materials effectively.

The strength of these gaskets comes from their multiple layers of stainless steel, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a solid seal even in demanding conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, like the 0.030 inches specified for this gasket.

This gasket is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, offering a reliable sealing solution for many Ford Windsor V8 applications, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford F-Series trucks, and AC Shelby Cobras from various years.
