Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .044in MLX Cylinder Head Gasket-4.220in Bores-Round Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevy Gen 1 Small Block V8, you need a head gasket that can handle the heat and pressure. This Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) head gasket is built for that job. It's designed to provide a strong seal right out of the box, meaning you won't need to mess with sealants, which can sometimes cause issues down the road.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it strength and the ability to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes. This gasket is 0.044 inches thick and has a bore size of 4.220 inches, suitable for 18/23 degree heads with round bores. It's a solid option for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups, as it can manage the different expansion rates of those materials.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 80s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Corvette. It's a well-built component designed to keep your engine sealed up tight.
