Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - With AFR Heads

When you're rebuilding or upgrading a Ford Windsor V8, especially one fitted with AFR heads, you need a head gasket that can handle the pressure. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is built for that job. It's designed to provide a solid seal between your cylinder head and block, crucial for keeping combustion pressures contained and preventing coolant or oil leaks.

What you get here is a well-built gasket made from multiple layers of stainless steel. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating helps ensure a tight seal against various surface finishes and withstands the stresses of high-output engines. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness is what gives this gasket its specific dimension – in this case, it's 0.080 inches compressed, with a 4.080-inch bore diameter, perfect for specific Windsor V8 builds.

Because it's an MLS gasket with Viton coating, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. This type of gasket is suitable for combinations of aluminum heads with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks, as it can manage the different expansion rates between those materials.
