Cometic Ford Y-Block V8 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.860in Bore - LHS

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Ford Y-Block V8 engines. You get one gasket in this package, designed to seal the combustion chamber and coolant passages between your cylinder head and engine block. It features a 3.860-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .051 inches, making it suitable for a variety of Y-Block applications.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different block and head materials, including aluminum and cast iron. This construction means you don't need to use any additional sealants; the gasket is ready to seal right out of the box. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .051 inch on this specific gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of classic Ford vehicles, including models like the F-100, Fairlane, and Thunderbird from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s. It's a solid option when you're rebuilding or refreshing the top end of your Y-Block V8.
