Cometic C5479-045 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket Ford Windsor Bore - 302/351W 4.060 045

The Cometic C5479-045 is a high-performance multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered specifically for Ford 302 and 351W Windsor V8 engines. This gasket features a 4.060-inch bore diameter and .045-inch compressed thickness, making it ideal for street performance and mild racing applications.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction provides superior sealing and durability under high cylinder pressures
• 4.060-inch bore diameter accommodates standard and slightly overbored cylinders
• .045-inch compressed thickness allows for precise compression ratio tuning
• Designed for Ford 302ci (5.0L) and 351W Windsor small block V8 engines
• Compatible with SVO heads and other performance cylinder head applications
• Embossed stainless steel layers with Viton rubber coating ensure excellent conformability and resistance to coolant and oil
• Handles extreme temperatures and pressures associated with performance engine builds

Cometic's MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with advanced polymer coatings that create a superior seal compared to traditional composite gaskets. This gasket is engineered to withstand the thermal expansion and cylinder pressure fluctuations common in modified engines, making it an excellent choice for street/strip engines, forced induction applications, and high-compression naturally aspirated builds.

Note: Sold individually. Two gaskets required per engine. MLS gaskets require proper surface preparation with RA finish of 50 or smoother for optimal sealing performance.
