About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your 2006-2013 Chevrolet Corvette. Designed specifically for the GM LS7 7.0L engine, this gasket plays a crucial role in keeping your engine's combustion chambers sealed, which is essential for proper performance and preventing coolant and oil from mixing.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for high-output engines. The embossed design and Viton coating help ensure a strong seal against both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and it requires no additional sealants. The compressed operating thickness is 0.040 inches, and the bore size is 4.150 inches, matching the specifications for the LS7 engine.
