Cometic Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.125in Bore

If you're working on a Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is a solid choice for rebuilding or upgrading. It's designed with a 4.125-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .040 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including those using aftermarket heads. This gasket fits many vehicles from the early 80s, like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Corvette, as well as Buick and GMC models from the same era.

What sets this gasket apart is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and works well with different head and block materials, like aluminum and cast iron. This multi-layer design means it seals effectively without needing any extra sealants, and the center layer can be varied for different thickness needs. The water ports are undersized to give you flexibility when customizing for aftermarket heads.
