Product Details

The Cometic C5509-080 is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket specifically designed for Ford 302 and 351W Windsor V8 engines. This high-performance gasket features a 4.195-inch bore diameter and .080-inch compressed thickness, making it ideal for performance builds and engines with increased compression ratios.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction provides superior sealing and durability under extreme conditions
  • 4.195-inch bore size accommodates SVO and performance applications
  • .080-inch (2.0mm) compressed thickness allows for precise compression ratio tuning
  • Engineered specifically for Ford 302 and 351W Windsor V8 engines
  • Exceeds OEM specifications for high-performance and racing applications
  • Requires proper surface preparation and smooth deck finish (recommended 50 RA or better)

Cometic MLS head gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with elastomeric coatings that ensure excellent conformability to sealing surfaces. The embossed design provides even load distribution across the gasket, preventing hot spots and maintaining consistent cylinder pressure. This gasket is compatible with both naturally aspirated and forced induction applications, making it a versatile choice for street performance, track, and racing engines.

Important Installation Notes: MLS gaskets require smooth, flat deck surfaces for optimal performance. Torque specifications should follow Cometic's recommendations, and proper head stud or bolt preparation is essential for reliable sealing.

Prices were good and the order shipped promptly. The email notice of shipment was a little late. It came after the order had arrived.

Product delivered as expected within 4 days. Lowest price on the web. No complaints.

This was an easy transaction, keep me notified thoughout the entire shipment. Price is what got my attention in the first place. I will be back for future needs.

Fast shipping and saved $60 on a $399 item. However you have to verify your part #'s with the vendor. The part discription on autoplicity sometimes is not what you get. I ordered an item that said it was an O2 plug and bung but when it showed up it was just the bung plug sold separate and customer service basically said it was my bad for not checking for a more accurate discription on the Allstar web site.

Nobody else had part in stock. Instant shipping and a good price. Will do business again!

After placing my order, my item was shipped out the next business day as promised. Great service and great products, what more could you ask for!!
