The Cometic MLS cylinder head gasket noted for a compressed operating thickness of 0.036in fits select World Products Man‑o‑War blocks for Ford 239 Flathead V8 applications. It uses multiple embossed stainless‑steel layers with Viton coating on the outer faces to resist corrosion and heat. The multilayer construction rebounds under load, lowers clamp requirements to reduce bore distortion, and seals reliably across varied surface finishes without sealants.
