Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .092in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - With AFR Heads

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Windsor V8, especially when using AFR heads, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that ensures a tight seal against aluminum or cast iron blocks, even with aluminum heads. This construction means you don't need additional sealants, and the gasket can handle the stresses between different metal types. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to achieve different compressed operating thicknesses, like the 0.092 inches specified here, which results in a 0.098 inch compressed thickness.

This gasket is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including classic Ford Broncos, Econoline vans, and many other applications. It's a well-built component for ensuring a reliable seal in your engine build.
