Cometic C5960-051 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket Ford Boss Bore - 302 4.100

The Cometic C5960-051 is a precision-engineered Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed specifically for Ford Boss 302 V8 engines. This gasket features a 4.100-inch bore diameter and 0.051-inch compressed thickness, making it ideal for performance builds using SVO cylinder heads and the M-6010-BOSS302 engine block.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for superior sealing and durability under high-performance conditions
• 0.051-inch compressed thickness allows for precise compression ratio tuning
• 4.100-inch bore diameter optimized for Boss 302 applications
• Engineered specifically for use with Ford SVO cylinder heads and M-6010-BOSS302 blocks
• Stainless steel construction with multiple embossed layers to handle extreme cylinder pressures
• Viton rubber sealing beads around combustion chambers and fluid passages

Cometic MLS gaskets are manufactured using multiple layers of stainless steel, which provides the ability to rebound and maintain contact pressure between the head and block. This design is essential for high-performance and racing applications where traditional composite gaskets may fail. The gasket's construction allows it to seal effectively even with minor surface imperfections, though optimal performance is achieved with properly prepared surfaces (typical RA finish of 50-60 microinches recommended).

This gasket is a direct fit for Ford Boss 302 engines and is particularly well-suited for street performance, track, and racing applications where precise sealing and consistent performance are critical.
