Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .036in MLS Cyl Head Gasket-4.135in Bore-With Edelbrock RPM Heads

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, providing maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. It's a solid choice for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multiple stainless steel layers offer increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while also handling the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

The compressed operating thickness of this gasket is 0.036 inches, and the center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness requirements. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit (250 C), making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various load conditions. This gasket is specifically designed to work with Edelbrock RPM heads and features a 4.135-inch bore, fitting a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block V8 applications, including vehicles like the Chevrolet C10 and Camaro from the 1980s.
