SBF 289-351W MLS Exhaust Gasket Set .030 Thick

The SBF 289-351W MLS Exhaust Gasket Set .030 Thick is designed specifically for Small Block Ford engines, including the 289 and 351W displacements. This gasket set is an essential component for engine builders and restoration enthusiasts working on classic vehicles like the Mustang and Torino. It provides a reliable seal between the cylinder head and exhaust manifold, which is crucial for maintaining engine performance.

Constructed with Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) technology, this gasket set features precision-embossed layers that evenly distribute clamping load across the sealing surface. This design helps prevent hot spots and micro-leaks that can occur with traditional composite gaskets under high temperatures. The .030-inch thickness is engineered for optimal compression and recovery characteristics, ensuring consistent sealing pressure throughout the engine's operating temperature range, typically between 400–600°F at the exhaust port.

Engine builders and restoration enthusiasts will benefit from the reliability and performance of this gasket set during engine assembly and testing phases. While MLS gaskets offer some reusability, it is important to assess their condition after each use to ensure optimal performance. This gasket set is a critical choice for anyone looking to maintain or restore SBF-powered vehicles.
