Cometic Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 .095in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.200in Bore

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines. It features a 4.200-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, with an uncompressed thickness of 0.095 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Buick Regal, and GMC C1500.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets using multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. This construction means the gasket doesn't require additional sealants for installation. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, making this gasket adaptable for various builds, especially those using aftermarket heads where water port customization might be needed.
