Product Details
This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket specifically for Ford Y-Block V8 engines. It's designed with a 3.860-inch bore and is 0.040 inches thick, intended for the RHS (Right Hand Side) of the engine. This gasket is built to handle the demands of performance Y-Block builds, offering an improved seal over stock options.
The key to this gasket's performance is its HP shim technology. This feature increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber, which is especially important for open deck blocks like many Y-Blocks. The embossed outer layers are coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, ensuring a durable and reliable seal even under high stress. This well-built gasket helps prevent leaks and maintain compression.
This gasket fits a wide range of classic Ford vehicles, including models like the 1954-1965 F-100, 1954-1962 Country Sedan, and 1955-1961 Fairlane. It's a solid option for anyone rebuilding or modifying their Y-Block V8.
