Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .074in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - NON-SVO

Starting with a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for demanding Ford Windsor V8 applications. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel to create a strong, resilient seal that can handle the stresses of high-output engines. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even in harsh conditions.

This gasket design is ideal for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multi-layer steel construction can withstand the differential expansion and shearing forces between these materials. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .074 inch specification on this particular gasket. Because they are well-built and require no additional sealants, these MLS gaskets offer maximum sealing performance right out of the box.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford Windsor V8 engines found in vehicles like the Ford Bronco, Ford F-Series trucks, and De Tomaso Pantera models. It's a solid option when you need a dependable seal for your engine rebuild or performance upgrade.
