Cometic Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.135in Bore

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making reliable engine sealing solutions. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, offering a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches and a 4.135-inch bore diameter. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including models like the 1980-1986 Chevrolet C10 and 1980-1982 Chevrolet Corvette.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is also stainless steel, allowing for different thickness requirements. These MLS gaskets don't require sealants and are effective with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, even when paired with aluminum heads, as they can manage the shearing forces between different metals. The water ports are undersized, which is a helpful detail for aftermarket heads, allowing for custom fitting during installation.
