Maximum Sealing Power for High-Performance Builds
The Cometic C5839-060 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket is purpose-built for the 1999–2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke (VIN F) to deliver unmatched sealing strength in high-compression and boosted diesel applications. With a .060-inch compressed thickness and a 4.140-inch bore, this gasket is ideal for engines running increased cylinder pressures from upgraded turbos, injectors, or tuning.
Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) Technology
Cometic’s advanced MLS design uses multiple embossed stainless steel layers with proprietary coatings to create an exceptional seal between the head and block. This ensures superior durability under extreme cylinder pressures and thermal loads. It resists blowouts and coolant leaks in both performance and heavy-duty applications.
