Product Details
If you're rebuilding the top end of your Buick V6, specifically models from '75 through '87 with the 196, 231, or 252 cubic inch engines, a solid set of head gaskets is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these engines, offering a reliable seal between your cylinder head and block.
What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them a lot of strength and helps them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating, along with the embossed layers, ensures a tight seal even with different head and block materials, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. The compressed thickness is .051 inches, and the bore is 4.090 inches, designed to match your specific engine configuration.
These gaskets are a popular choice for many Buick V6 applications, including models like the Regal, LeSabre, and Electra, as well as some Chevrolet vehicles. They're designed to seal effectively without needing any extra sealants, simplifying the installation process.
