Cometic Ford Windsor V8 .140in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.030in Bore - With AFR Heads

When you're rebuilding or upgrading your Ford Windsor V8, you need head gaskets that can handle the pressure. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for those demanding applications, offering a robust seal for engines with a 4.030-inch bore, specifically designed to work with AFR heads. It's a well-built component that fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, from classic Broncos and F-Series trucks to Explorers and Econoline vans.

What you get here is a gasket made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and the ability to rebound, helping to prevent leaks. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is crucial for sealing effectively against different engine block and head materials, like aluminum to aluminum or aluminum to cast iron, and it means you don't need to add any extra sealants during installation. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; in this case, it's set to provide a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches for a .140-inch installed height.

This gasket is a solid option for high-output engines, providing reliable sealing performance. It's designed to withstand the forces generated in powerful V8s, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
