Cometic 75-87 Buick V6 196/231/252 Stage I & II 3.86 inch Bore .027 inch MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, offering a solid seal without needing extra sealants. This gasket is a great choice for rebuilding or repairing engines in a wide range of vehicles, including many Buick models like the Regal and LeSabre, as well as Chevrolet Camaros and El Caminos.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and various surface finishes. The compressed thickness is set at 0.027 inches, and the bore size is 3.86 inches, making it suitable for specific Buick V6 engines like the 196, 231, and 252 cubic inch variants used in Stage I and II applications.

This type of MLS gasket works well whether you're mating aluminum heads to an aluminum block or aluminum heads to a cast iron block, as it can manage the stresses that come from different metals working together. It's a well-made part that aims for reliable performance in your engine.
