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. If you're working on a 2006-2013 Chevrolet Corvette with the LS7 7.0L engine, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of that powerplant. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps ensure a solid seal under pressure.

What really sets this gasket apart is the Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. Viton is a heat-resistant material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes, making it ideal for high-output engines. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness, allowing for precise control over the compressed operating thickness, which in this case is .036 inches. These MLS gaskets don't require any additional sealants and are suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
