Cometic Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 .075in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore

Starting with a .075 inch compressed thickness and a 4.165 inch bore, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious sealing. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, fitting a wide range of vehicles from the 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500.

The MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a solid seal even under tough conditions. This construction means you don't need to use any extra sealants, and it works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks and heads, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .075 inch on this particular gasket. This gasket also features valve pocketed bores and steam holes, making it a well-built option for rebuilding or upgrading your engine.
