4.195 MLS Head Gasket .051 - SBF SVO

The Cometic Gaskets 4.195 MLS Head Gasket .051 for Small Block Ford SVO engines is a multi-layer steel cylinder head gasket engineered for critical sealing in high-performance applications. This gasket delivers the compression thickness and bore diameter required for Small Block Ford SVO platform engines, where reliable combustion chamber sealing directly impacts both power output and engine longevity.

The 4.195-inch bore size matches the cylinder head specifications of SVO-prepared Small Block Ford engines, while the 0.051-inch compression thickness maintains proper combustion chamber volume and quench characteristics. Multi-layer steel construction provides superior sealing surface integrity compared to single-layer alternatives, resisting blow-by and maintaining consistent compression under sustained load. The gasket's composition is engineered to withstand the thermal cycling and pressure spikes inherent to turbocharged and supercharged SVO applications, making it suitable for both street performance and competition use.

This head gasket is intended for engine builders, performance shops, and dedicated enthusiasts rebuilding or refreshing Small Block Ford SVO engines. Proper installation requires clean machined surfaces, correct torque sequence, and appropriate head bolt specifications to ensure consistent clamping load and gasket performance. The part is sold individually, allowing builders to source the exact quantity needed for their project specifications.

Cometic Gaskets is recognized for precision-engineered gasket solutions across automotive, powersports, and marine engine platforms. For Small Block Ford applications specifically, proper gasket selection by bore diameter and compression thickness is critical—mismatched dimensions compromise sealing integrity and can lead to coolant leakage, combustion gas escape, and internal cross-contamination. This gasket's specification ensures compatibility with SVO platform engine builds.
