About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a Ford Y-Block V8 engine, this Cometic MLS head gasket is built to seal up your combustion chambers effectively. It's designed with a .051 inch thickness and a 3.860 inch bore, making it suitable for a wide range of classic Ford vehicles like the F-100, Fairlane, and Thunderbird from the mid-50s to mid-60s.

This gasket uses Cometic's HP shim technology, which adds extra clamping force right around the combustion chamber. This is especially helpful for open deck blocks, ensuring a strong seal that can handle the pressures of your V8. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, helping to maintain a tight seal over time.
