Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.060in Bore - Vortec Heads

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block V8, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is a solid choice. It's designed with a .036-inch thickness and a 4.060-inch bore, specifically made to work with Vortec heads. This gasket is built to handle the pressures and temperatures found in these engines, helping to ensure a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

Cometic builds these gaskets using three to five layers of stainless steel. They chose stainless steel because it's strong, resists corrosion, and can rebound well under pressure. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. This construction helps the gasket seal effectively even in tough conditions and on various surface finishes.

This gasket fits a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks, cars, and performance vehicles from the early 1980s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10 and Camaro. Make sure to check the fitment details to confirm it's the right part for your specific application.
