Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.125in Bore - 18/23 Degree Head

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8, getting the right cylinder head gasket is crucial for a solid seal. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder heads and block.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it the strength to resist warping and corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and different surface finishes. With a compressed thickness of .045 inches and a 4.125-inch bore, it's designed to fit specific Gen-1 Small Block V8 configurations, including those with 18/23 degree cylinder heads. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

This gasket is a popular choice for a wide range of vehicles from the early 80s, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. It's designed to work with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, offering flexibility for your build.
