Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .070in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.200in Bore - With AFR Heads

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket specifically made for Ford Windsor V8 engines, featuring a 4.200 inch bore and a compressed thickness of .070 inches. It's designed to work with AFR cylinder heads and is built to handle the demands of high-output applications, providing a reliable seal without needing additional sealants. This gasket is well-suited for combinations using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multi-layer steel construction can manage the different expansion rates and shearing forces between these materials.

The gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a robust seal even under harsh conditions and on various surface finishes. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, allowing for precise tuning. This well-built gasket is a popular choice for engine builds that push performance boundaries.
