About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for creating solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engine, this gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output applications. It features a 4.200-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of these popular V8s, including many Chevrolet C10s, GMC C1500s, and Chevrolet Camaros from the 1980s.

What sets this gasket apart is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This design means you don't need to use any extra sealants, and it works well whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces between different metals.
