Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .057in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.060in Bore - NON-SVO

Starting with a .057 inch compressed thickness, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Ford Windsor V8 engines with a 4.060 inch bore. These gaskets are a solid choice for high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants. They work well whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block, as they can handle the stresses that come from dissimilar materials.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their multiple layers of stainless steel, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating is designed to perform reliably in tough sealing environments, under various loads, and on different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, like the .036 inch compressed operating thickness of this particular gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford Windsor V8 applications, including many Bronco, F-Series trucks, and Econoline vans from the 1960s through the 1990s, as well as classic AC Shelby Cobras and De Tomaso Panteras. It's a well-built component designed to keep your engine sealed tight.
