Product Details

This Cometic MLX cylinder head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8, especially when using All Pro heads. It's built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, and the outer layers have a Viton rubber coating for a reliable seal. The compressed operating thickness is .048 inches, and it's designed for a 4.220-inch bore with a round port opening.

The Multi-Layer Stopper (MLX) technology is a key feature here. It includes an integrated stopper layer that helps with sealing the combustion chamber and provides improved clamp load around the cylinder without causing distortion. This means you get a strong, consistent seal that's built to last. You won't need to use any sealants with this gasket, and it doesn't require a re-torque after installation, which can simplify your rebuild process.

This gasket is a well-built option for a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet and GMC trucks and cars from the early to mid-1980s, as well as some Buick models. If you're working on a Gen-1 Small Block V8 and need a dependable head gasket for All Pro heads, this Cometic part is a solid choice.
