Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .042in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.060in Bore - NON-SVO

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This design is intended to provide maximum sealing performance for engines that see higher output than stock, and it doesn't require any additional sealants to do its job. MLS gaskets are a solid choice for builds using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also helps them rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it well-suited for demanding sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to achieve different compressed gasket thicknesses, like the .042 inch overall thickness of this particular gasket, which compresses to .036 inches.

This gasket is designed to fit a wide range of Ford Windsor V8 applications, including vehicles like the Ford Bronco, Ford E-Series vans, and AC Shelby Cobras from various model years. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or modifying your engine.
