Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - NON-SVO

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Windsor V8, you want a head gasket that seals tight and lasts. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for that job. It's designed with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it the strength to handle the demands of high-output engines. The compressed thickness is set at 0.098 inches, with a 4.180-inch bore, making it suitable for a wide range of Ford V8 applications, including many Bronco, E-Series vans, and custom Ford models.

What sets this gasket apart is its construction. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating, along with the embossed stainless steel layers, ensures a strong seal against both aluminum and cast iron blocks, even when dealing with the shearing forces between different metals. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. The center layer is also stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.

This gasket is a solid option for anyone looking for reliable sealing in their Windsor V8 build. It's well-built to resist corrosion and maintain its seal under pressure, which is crucial for engine longevity.
