Cometic Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 .038in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.100in Bore - Round Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines and features a 4.100-inch bore with a round port. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher-output engines, offering a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This combination ensures a strong seal without needing additional sealants, making it suitable for pairings like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.038-inch specification on this particular gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet C/K series trucks, Camaro, Corvette, and Caprice models from the 1980s and early 90s, as well as some Buick and GMC applications. It's a solid option when you need reliable sealing for your engine rebuild.
