Cometic Buick 3800 Series II/III V6 .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.840in Bore - LHS

Built with multiple layers of stainless steel, this Cometic head gasket features outer layers coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. This design is specifically for the left side of Buick 3800 Series II and III V6 engines, with a compressed operating thickness of .060 inches and a bore size of 3.840 inches. It's a well-built option for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations, capable of handling the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

The Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction offers increased strength and rebound resistance, helping to prevent corrosion. This gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to meet different thickness needs, but this specific gasket is set at .060 inches compressed thickness. It's a solid choice for engines that see higher output, providing reliable sealing performance.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Buick LeSabre, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Chevrolet Camaro from the mid-90s through the early 2000s. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper torque sequences and procedures.
