The Cometic C5516-075 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered specifically for Ford Windsor V8 engines with a 4.180-inch bore diameter. This gasket features a compressed thickness of .075 inches (0.075"), making it ideal for engines with mild deck milling or those requiring precise compression ratio tuning.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction provides superior sealing and durability under extreme temperatures and pressures
• 4.180-inch bore diameter designed for NON-SVO Ford Windsor V8 applications
• 0.075-inch compressed gasket thickness allows for compression ratio adjustment
• Engineered to handle high-performance and racing conditions
• Requires proper surface finish (typically 50 RA or smoother) for optimal sealing
• Compatible with most aftermarket cylinder heads and engine blocks

Cometic MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with elastomeric coatings that provide exceptional recovery and sealing properties. The embossed layers distribute load evenly across the sealing surface, making them the preferred choice for street performance, track, and racing applications. Proper installation requires clean, flat surfaces and adherence to manufacturer torque specifications.
