Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .053in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.060in Bore - NON-SVO

Starting with a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction, this Cometic head gasket uses embossed outer layers coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. This design is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces between dissimilar metals. The compressed operating thickness is .036 inches, and the center shim layer can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .053 inches for this specific gasket. These gaskets are well-built to provide maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants.

The multi-layer steel design offers increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is chosen for its ability to perform in harsh sealing environments, under various load conditions, and on different surface finishes. This gasket is a solid option for a range of Ford Windsor V8 applications, including vehicles like the Ford Bronco, Ford E-Series vans, and De Tomaso Pantera models, offering reliable sealing for your engine rebuild.
