Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - NON-SVO

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Ford Windsor V8 engines. You get one gasket with a compressed thickness of .036 inches and a bore diameter of 4.180 inches. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, and the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This construction means it doesn't need any extra sealants and is well-suited for high-output applications, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or cast iron block.

The multi-layer steel design gives these gaskets increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion and withstand the forces created by different metal combinations. The Viton coating on the outer layers is tough enough for demanding sealing environments, different load conditions, and various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different requirements, which is how Cometic achieves the .036 inch compressed thickness in this specific gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford V8 engines, including many Ford Broncos, Econoline vans, and custom models from the 1960s through the 1990s, as well as some AC Shelby Cobras and De Tomaso Panteras. It's a solid option when you need a reliable seal for your engine rebuild.
