Cometic Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.160in Bore

If you're working on a Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid option. It's designed with a 4.160-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .060 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of GM vehicles from 1980 to 1986, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10 and Camaro, as well as GMC trucks.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This construction means you don't need extra sealants, and it's ideal for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the water ports are undersized to allow for customization when using aftermarket heads.
