Cometic Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.100in Bore - Round Bore

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines. It features a 4.100-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500 from the early 1980s through mid-1980s.

Cometic MLS head gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and surface finishes. This construction means the gasket seals effectively without needing additional sealants, making it suitable for applications with both aluminum and cast iron blocks and heads. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.051-inch operating thickness found in this specific gasket.
