Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .036in MLX Cyl Head Gasket-4.220in Bore-All Pro Heads-Round Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial. This Cometic MLX gasket is constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers featuring a durable Viton rubber coating. It's designed for a 4.220-inch bore and is specifically intended for use with All Pro Heads that have a round bore.

The MLX (Multi-Layer Stopper) technology is a key feature here. It incorporates an integrated stopper layer that helps seal the combustion chamber and improves clamp load around the cylinder without causing distortion. This design is built using the same robust materials as Cometic's standard MLS head gaskets, ensuring reliable performance. A notable benefit is that this gasket requires no sealants and does not need to be re-torqued after installation, simplifying the assembly process.

This gasket fits a wide variety of vehicles from the early 1980s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet C10, and GMC C1500. Its compressed operating thickness is 0.036 inches, making it a precise fit for many Gen-1 Small Block V8 applications.
