Cometic 75-87 Buick V6 196/231/252 Stage I & II 4.09 inch Bore .060 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's built for Buick V6 engines with a 4.09-inch bore, specifically designed for Stage I & II applications from 1975 through 1987, and fits a wide range of other vehicles too. This gasket is 0.060 inches thick when compressed, offering a reliable seal for your engine rebuild.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion, which is important for handling the stresses in high-output engines. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes. This means you don't need to use any extra sealants, and it works well whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.
