Cometic C5366-045 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket Ford Windsor Bore - 302/351W 4.200

The Cometic C5366-045 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered specifically for Ford 302 and 351W Windsor V8 engines. This precision-manufactured gasket features a .045" compressed thickness and is designed for 4.200" bore applications, making it ideal for performance builds and engine rebuilds requiring enhanced sealing capabilities.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction provides superior sealing and durability under extreme pressures and temperatures
• .045" compressed thickness allows for precise compression ratio tuning
• 4.200" bore diameter accommodates stock and slightly overbored cylinders
• Valve pocketed bore design provides proper clearance for performance valve train components
• SVO/Yates head configuration for left-hand side (LHS) application
• Eliminates the need for retorquing, reducing maintenance requirements
• Resists gasket failure from extreme cylinder pressures in high-performance and forced induction applications

Cometic's MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with elastomeric coatings that compensate for surface imperfections and ensure optimal combustion sealing. This gasket is designed for engines using SVO or Yates cylinder heads, which are popular choices for serious performance builds. The valve pocketed design prevents interference with larger valves commonly found in performance applications.

Note: This is a single gasket for the left-hand side. A matching right-hand side gasket is required for complete engine assembly.
