Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - Vortec Heads

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for creating dependable sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s built for Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, specifically designed to work with Vortec heads. This gasket is a crucial part for anyone rebuilding or repairing their engine, ensuring a solid seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It’s made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased 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 temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for the demanding conditions inside an engine. The compressed thickness is set at .030 inches, and the bore size is 4.080 inches, with a valve pocketed bore for better clearance. These MLS gaskets don't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process and providing a reliable seal for both aluminum and cast iron blocks.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Corvette from the 1980s. It's a solid option for ensuring your engine seals properly after a rebuild.
