The Cometic MLS head gasket for Ford FE V8 applications is built from embossed stainless steel layers with Viton-coated outer faces, a market-compressed thickness of 0.036" and a 4.165" bore. It does not fit the 427 SOHC Cammer. The uncoated stainless shim allows thickness variation while MLS construction reduces required clamp load, resists corrosion and conforms to surface irregularities for improved sealing.
