Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.125in Bore - 18/23 Degree Head

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This construction means it seals exceptionally well without needing any extra sealants, making it a solid choice for both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The gasket compresses to a thickness of 0.027 inches, providing a reliable seal for your engine's combustion chambers.

MLS gaskets are known for their strength because they're made from multiple layers of stainless steel. This design not only resists corrosion but also allows the gasket to rebound, helping it maintain a tight seal even under the stress of high-output engines. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.027 inches on this particular gasket, which also includes steam holes to help manage heat.

This gasket is designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block V8 engines found in vehicles like the Chevrolet C10, GMC C1500, and Chevrolet Camaro from the 1980s. It's a well-built component that helps ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
