Product Details

The Cometic C5478-051 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered specifically for Ford 302 and 351W Windsor V8 engines. Designed with a 4.030-inch bore diameter and .051-inch compressed thickness, this gasket provides superior sealing performance for stock and modified street applications.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for maximum durability and reliability
  • 4.030-inch bore diameter accommodates standard and slightly overbored cylinders
  • .051-inch compressed thickness for precise compression ratio tuning
  • Compatible with Ford 302 and 351W Windsor small block V8 engines
  • SVO-style design optimized for performance applications
  • Excellent resistance to combustion pressure and thermal cycling
  • Allows for increased boost and compression in modified engines

MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with an elastomeric coating that provides superior sealing under extreme conditions. The embossed layers create a spring effect that maintains constant pressure across the sealing surface, even as the engine expands and contracts during heat cycles. This design makes Cometic gaskets ideal for high-performance street engines, forced induction applications, and engines with aluminum heads on iron blocks.

Sold individually—two gaskets required per engine. Proper surface preparation with a minimum 50 RA surface finish is recommended for optimal performance.

The price as well as the turn time for receiving my product was great. I placed an order late Sunday evening and I have received my order by Wednesday of that week. I still can't get over how great the price was for the bike rack I ordered compared to all of the other sites out there.

Have not recieved order yet, but price was good. Will see how long it takes and if I get the right product. Writing this review before arrivial.

Best Price and fast shipping, not bad price for the shipping cost

Very competitive pricing (within best 2-3 prices I could find anywhere online) on a foam kayak carrier kit. Shipping was a little high relative to competition, but base price was good enough that with this stellar reputation on RR, ordering from them seemed the right way to go. Ordered 2/17, received it on 2/20 - so *excellent* performance on the delivery side. Satisfied with my decision to shop here. Will eagerly consider them again in the future.

Great company to deal with. Had a question and called the 800 number and spoke to a person not a computer..... a real pleasure to deal with.. A plus in my book....

Looked my item up on Amazon and autoplicity was the lowest by far. I ordered on Sunday, it was shipped on Tuesday, and I received it on Thursday.

This was my first purchase from Autoplicity, and it was an excellent experience. They had the Motive brake bleeder adapter I needed at the best price I could find on the web. Shipping was prompt and the transaction was super smooth. Thanks!

Best price anywhere for a brand name item. Fast inexpensive shipping!
