Cometic Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.100in Bore - Round Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8, a reliable head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of modern engines, whether you're working with aluminum or cast iron heads and blocks.

Cometic’s MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and provides a good seal without needing extra sealants. The compressed thickness on this gasket is .056 inches, and it features a 4.100-inch round bore, making it suitable for a range of Gen-1 Small Block V8 applications. This type of construction helps manage the shearing forces that can occur when mating different metal types, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks.

This gasket fits a wide variety of vehicles from the early 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, GMC C1500, and Buick Regal. It's a well-built option for anyone looking for a dependable seal during their engine rebuild.
