Product Details

If you're working on the right side cylinder head for your 2001-2016 GM 6.6L Duramax diesel, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid option. It's built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is designed for a direct fit on applications with a 4.100 inch bore.
