Product Details

The Cometic C5509-045 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 4.195-inch bore diameter and a compressed thickness of .045 inches, making it ideal for SVO applications and performance builds requiring precise compression control.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction provides superior sealing and durability under high cylinder pressure
  • 4.195-inch bore diameter accommodates stock and slightly overbored cylinders
  • .045-inch compressed thickness allows for fine-tuning compression ratios
  • Designed for Ford 302/351W Windsor small block V8 engines
  • Engineered for SVO (Special Vehicle Operations) and performance applications
  • Resistant to extreme temperatures and cylinder pressures
  • Eliminates gasket failure and head lifting common with standard composite gaskets

Cometic's MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with an elastomeric coating that responds to flange pressure changes, maintaining a superior seal throughout the engine's operating range. This gasket is an excellent choice for street performance, racing, forced induction, and high-compression naturally aspirated builds where reliability and precision are essential.

Great price and good company to buy from!

I ordered CV axles from Autoplicity and had them in less than a week! Definitely the best prices for quality product on this item. Will be a return customer for sure!

I was apprehensiveness at first to make a major purchase with Autoplicity due to their extremely low price and lack of reviews. I decided to take the chance and I am very glad I did. I made my order on a Monday morning at 0900 eastern time and my product arrived on Wednesday at 3pm. The item was exactly as described and the most astonishing part is that my purchase was released from the factory less than 45 days ago. I was expecting a model that had been sitting on a shelf for the last year and needed to be updated. That was not the case. I will definitely order from Autoplicity again in the future.

Great price on a head gasket. Love the Amazon integration.

Very good price. Super quick delivery. Will def. buy from them again. Highley recomend them

Sweetest price on this K&N Filter anywhere! Shipped within 24hrs too. I'm coming back to shop for my car next.
