Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.200in Bore - With AFR Heads

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for building solid engine components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's specifically made for Ford Windsor V8 engines with a 4.200-inch bore, designed to work with AFR cylinder heads. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches to ensure a proper seal.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They use multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and helps them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is applied to both sides and helps create a reliable seal, even when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can manage the different expansion rates. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness, which is how Cometic achieves different gasket thicknesses like this 0.080-inch version.

This gasket is designed to fit a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford F-100, and AC Shelby Cobras from various years. Because it's an MLS gasket with the Viton coating, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
