Cometic Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.125in Bore

Starting with a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious sealing. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers getting a heat-resistant Viton rubber coating. This construction is tough enough to handle the forces between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, or even aluminum to aluminum, without issues. Cometic designed these gaskets to work without needing extra sealants, making installation more straightforward.

The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different needs, but this specific gasket is set at .036 inches compressed. The Viton coating on the outer layers is rated for temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), so it can handle the heat from high-output engines. These gaskets are also suitable for Brodix 12-23 degree heads and feature undersized water ports on aftermarket heads, allowing for custom porting to match your specific build.

This gasket fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines found in vehicles like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. It's a solid option when you need reliable sealing for your engine rebuild.
