About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines and features a 4.135-inch bore with a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, offering maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. It's a solid choice for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise between different metals.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in tough sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the overall design allows it to rebound effectively. This gasket is also suitable for use with Brodix BD2000 heads, making it a versatile option for engine rebuilds or performance upgrades across a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500.
