Cometic Chevrolet Small Block Brodix 4.160in Bore .040in MLS All 12-23 Deg Head Gasket

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, specifically when using Brodix heads with a 4.160-inch bore. It features a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches and is built to handle the demands of high-output applications. This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the 1980-1986 Chevrolet C10 and 1980-1982 Chevrolet Corvette.

Cometic's MLS gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, offering increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal in harsh conditions. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for varied thickness requirements. These gaskets are designed for direct sealing without the need for additional sealants and work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks.

This particular gasket is intended for aftermarket heads and features undersized water ports, which allows for customization during installation. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or upgrading your engine's top end.
