Product Details

The Cometic C5509-040 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered specifically for Ford 302 and 351W Windsor V8 engines. This precision gasket features a 4.195-inch bore diameter and .040-inch (1.02mm) compressed thickness, making it ideal for SVO heads and performance builds requiring reliable sealing under extreme conditions.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Layer Steel construction provides superior strength and durability
  • 4.195-inch bore diameter optimized for Ford Windsor small block applications
  • .040-inch compressed thickness for precise compression ratio tuning
  • Designed for use with SVO cylinder heads
  • Handles high cylinder pressures and temperatures in performance applications
  • Eliminates gasket failure from excessive cylinder pressure or extreme heat
  • Requires proper surface preparation (RA finish 50-60 recommended)

Cometic's MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with precision-engineered embossments that provide exceptional sealing around combustion chambers, coolant passages, and oil return holes. The gasket's ability to recover from extreme cylinder pressures makes it the preferred choice for modified and high-performance Ford Windsor engines.
