Cometic Ford Y-Block V8 .023in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.860in Bore - RHS

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Y-Block V8, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures and temperatures of these classic engines.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for this gasket, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion and rebound well under load. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating helps create a reliable seal even on surfaces that aren't perfectly smooth, which can be common on older engine blocks. The 3.860-inch bore size is specific for Y-Block V8s, and the .023-inch thickness is a common choice for stock or mild performance builds.

This gasket fits a wide range of classic Ford vehicles, including popular models like the F-100 trucks from the mid-50s to mid-60s, and cars like the Fairlane and Thunderbird. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm it matches your specific application.
