Cometic Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.135in Bore

This listing is for a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines. It features a 4.135-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .036 inches. This gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, with the outer layers coated in heat-resistant Viton rubber. This construction makes it suitable for high-output engines and eliminates the need for sealants, working well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks.

The MLS design offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion due to its stainless steel layers. The Viton coating on the outer layers is designed to handle demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes, with a heat resistance up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for different thickness requirements. This particular gasket is intended for aftermarket heads and includes undersized water ports that can be customized for your specific build.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Corvette from the 1980s. It's a solid option when rebuilding or upgrading your engine's top end.
