Cometic Chevy Gen-I Small Block V8 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.185in Bores

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Chevrolet Gen-I Small Block V8 engines. It's built with a .040 inch thickness and a 4.185 inch bore, specifically without steam holes, and is intended for 18/23 degree cylinder heads. This gasket is a well-built option for rebuilding or repairing your engine, helping to ensure a solid seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

The gasket utilizes HP shim technology, which is embossed and coated with Viton on the outer layers. This design increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber, improving its ability to seal effectively, especially with open deck blocks. This attention to detail in its construction aims to provide a reliable seal under operating conditions.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 1980s through the mid-1980s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. Always double-check the fitment guide to confirm it's the right part for your specific application.
