Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.160in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer layer coated with Viton rubber. When compressed, it measures .051 inches thick and is designed for a 4.160-inch bore, making it suitable for applications like the Brodix BD2000 head. These gaskets are a solid choice for high-output Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces between different metals.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant synthetic rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even under demanding conditions and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements. Because they are designed for maximum sealing performance, these gaskets require no additional sealants.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles from 1980 to 1986, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. It's a well-built component designed to ensure your engine's combustion chambers are properly sealed.
