Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .050in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.200in Bore - NON-SVO

Starting with a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious sealing. It's designed for Ford Windsor V8 engines with a 4.200-inch bore, and this particular gasket is 0.050 inches thick, intended for non-SVO applications. These gaskets are a popular choice for high-output engines because they don't require any additional sealants, making installation cleaner and more reliable.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their multiple layers of stainless steel, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape under stress. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes them suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and they can handle the different expansion rates between these materials. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine build requirements.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford V8 applications, including many Bronco, Econoline, and F-Series trucks from the 1960s through the 1990s, as well as classic performance vehicles like the De Tomaso Pantera. It's a well-built component designed to provide a dependable seal for your engine.
