Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.200in Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engine, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and block, especially in high-output applications. It's built to handle the demands of modern engines without needing extra sealants.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and rebound, which helps it resist corrosion and maintain its seal. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness is what gives this gasket its specific compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches. This design is suitable for pairing aluminum heads with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This head gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, GMC C1500, and Buick Regal from the early to mid-1980s. It's a solid option when you need reliable sealing for your engine rebuild.
