Head Gaskets
- Pre-flattened steel wire combustion ring. Exhaust side is staight to accommodate block water passages.
NOTE: Several different water hole patterns have been used on 302 and 351W Ford Racing cylinder blocks and heads since their introduction. Engine assemblers should lay the head gasket on the block and the cylinder head (with front of gasket toward the front of the engine) to make sure there is a path for coolant flow from the block into the head. In some cases, holes may have to be drilled in the block or head, or punched in the gasket.
Ford Racing performance cylinder head gaskets minimize blowout and have a wire-ring combustion seat for extra sealing around combustion chambers. Ford Racing performance cylinder head gaskets are available with either steel-core laminate construction for cast iron heads, or graphite cores with a pre-flattened steel-wire ring, so they won't brinell aluminum heads.
