Cometic 92-96 GM LT1 Small Block 4.040 inch Bore .045 inch MLS Head Gasket (w/Valve Pockets)

This Cometic C5645-045 head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your GM LT1 or LT4 Gen-2 Small Block V8 engine. It's a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket designed to handle the demands of higher output engines, and it's built to work with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. You'll find this gasket fits a range of vehicles, including the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Pontiac Firebird from the mid-90s.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it 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 and works well in tough sealing environments. This design means you don't need to use any extra sealants when you install it, and it's built to withstand the forces that can occur when mating different metals like aluminum heads to iron blocks. The compressed thickness is set at 0.045 inches, and it has valve pockets to accommodate your engine's geometry.
