Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .070in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - With AFR Heads

Starting with a .070 inch compressed thickness and a 4.080 inch bore, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Ford Windsor V8 engines, especially when paired with AFR heads. MLS gaskets are a smart choice for high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing any extra sealants. They're well-suited for combinations of aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, handling the stresses that can arise between different metals.

The strength of this gasket comes from its multiple layers of stainless steel, which also help it resist corrosion and maintain its shape. 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 coating is designed to seal effectively even in tough conditions and on various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine build requirements, like the specific .070 inch thickness of this gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, making it a versatile option for many Ford Windsor V8 applications. It's a solid choice for builds that demand reliable sealing under pressure.
