Cometic Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.160in Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8, getting the cylinder head gaskets right is crucial for a strong seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of higher-output engines, offering a reliable seal without needing extra sealants. It's designed to work with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and can handle the stresses that come from mating different metals together.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for 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 compressed thickness is set at 0.051 inches, and the bore is 4.160 inches. This gasket is specifically noted for use with aftermarket heads, featuring undersized water ports that allow for custom fitting to your specific setup.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and GMC C1500. It's a well-built option for anyone looking to ensure a leak-free seal during their engine build.
