This gasket features a .036-inch compressed thickness and is designed for engines with a 4.080-inch bore diameter, making it ideal for performance builds and engine rebuilds.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for superior sealing and durability
• .036-inch compressed thickness for precise compression ratio tuning

Cometic's MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with an elastomeric coating that provides exceptional combustion sealing. The gasket's spring-like qualities allow it to adapt to minor surface imperfections while maintaining consistent clamping pressure across the entire sealing surface. This design makes it an excellent choice for high-performance street engines, race applications, and any build requiring reliable head gasket performance under demanding conditions.

This gasket is compatible with Ford Windsor small block V8 engines including 289, 302, and 351W variants when bored to the specified diameter. Proper surface preparation and correct torque specifications are essential for optimal performance.
