Cometic Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.100in Bore - Round Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8. It's designed with a compressed operating thickness of .098 inches and a 4.100-inch bore, featuring a round bore opening. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring a reliable seal without needing additional sealants.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit and works well with different surface finishes. This multi-layer design also allows the gasket to rebound and withstand the forces created when mating different metals, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, making it a versatile choice for many builds.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet and GMC trucks and cars from the early to mid-1980s, as well as models like the Buick Century and Avanti II. It's a well-built component for anyone rebuilding or upgrading their Gen-1 Small Block V8 engine.
