Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .092in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.030in Bore - With AFR Heads

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Windsor V8, especially with performance heads like AFR, getting the right cylinder head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of a high-output engine, ensuring a reliable seal between your block and those performance heads. It's designed to work with a 4.030-inch bore and has a compressed thickness of .092 inches, specifically accounting for the coolant eyebrow found on AFR heads.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes without needing additional sealants. This construction makes it suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements, which is how Cometic achieves the .092-inch compressed thickness for this specific gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Ford Bronco, F-100, and Explorer, among many others. It's a well-built component designed for performance applications where a dependable seal is non-negotiable.
