Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .120in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - NON-SVO

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket specifically for Ford Windsor V8 engines. It features a 4.180-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .120 inches, designed for applications that demand robust sealing. MLS gaskets are built with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving them increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps them resist corrosion and handle the shearing forces between different block and head materials, like aluminum to cast iron. This makes them a solid choice for high-output engines where reliable sealing is critical.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. Viton is known for its ability to perform well in tough sealing environments and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine build requirements, like the .120-inch thickness on this particular gasket. Because they are made of multiple layers of steel and coated with Viton, these gaskets do not require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford vehicles and V8 engines, including models like the Ford Bronco, Ford E-Series vans, and DeTomaso Pantera. It's a well-built component that helps ensure your engine's combustion chambers are properly sealed, which is essential for performance and longevity.
