Cometic Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.004in Bores

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket uses three to five layers of stainless steel, chosen for its strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with a Viton rubber material, which can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in tough sealing environments and on various surface finishes. This gasket is designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines with 4.004-inch bores and 18/23 degree cylinder heads.

The stainless steel construction offers improved rebound and durability compared to traditional materials. The Viton coating on the embossed outer layers helps create a solid seal, meeting the demands of different load conditions and surface preparations you might encounter during an engine rebuild. This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet C10, GMC C1500, and Buick Regal from the early to mid-1980s.
