Cometic Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 .092in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.200in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket starts with a .092 inch thickness and a 4.200 inch bore, designed specifically for Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines. The core of this gasket is made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and withstand the forces generated between different block and head materials. This makes it a solid choice whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block.

The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. Viton is known for its ability to handle tough sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied by Cometic to achieve different compressed thicknesses, like the 0.036 inch operating thickness you get with this gasket. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 1980s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or upgrading your engine's top end.
