Cometic 2013-14 Ford 5.8L DOHC Modular V8 95.3mm Bore .032in MLX Head Gasket - Left

Comprised of multiple embossed layers of stainless steel with the outer layers utilizing a Viton rubber coating. Compressed operating thickness is 0.036". World Products Man-o-War Block. Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gaskets provide maximum sealing performance for todays high output engines and require no sealants. MLS gaskets are ideal for both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. They can withstand the shearing force created by the two materials. MLS gaskets have increased strength because they are comprised of multiple layers of stainless steel; which also creates the ability to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton (a flour elastomer rubber based material that is heat resistant to 250 C/ 482 F). Viton is designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes. The center or shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. Ford 5.8L Trinity Modular V8 .032in.

• Improved clamp load around the cylinder without increasing bore distortion
• Embossed Outer Layers Coated w/Viton

The Cometic Gasket 487770 is a high-performance multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket designed for demanding engine applications. Constructed with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, the gasket features outer layers coated with Viton rubber, which provides excellent heat resistance up to 482°F (250°C) and durability in harsh sealing environments. This design ensures maximum sealing efficiency for high-output engines, eliminating the need for sealants and making installation straightforward. The gasket is suitable for use with aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, thanks to its ability to withstand shearing forces created by different materials. Its compressed operating thickness is approximately 0.036 inches, providing an optimal seal without excessive compression load. The center or shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, which allows for customization to achieve various thickness requirements, accommodating different engine setups. The embossed outer layers coated with Viton also contribute to enhanced rebound and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term reliability under extreme conditions. This gasket is specifically designed for the Ford 5.8L Trinity Modular V8 engine, with a bore size of 95mm, and is suitable for engines in the 2013-2014 Ford Mustang as well as other compatible models. Its robust construction improves clamp load around the cylinder, reducing bore distortion and maintaining consistent compression for optimal engine performance. Whether rebuilding or upgrading, the Cometic MLX head gasket offers a reliable sealing solution for high-performance applications, delivering durability, excellent sealing, and compatibility across a range of engine configurations.
