Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .051in MLX Cylinder Head Gasket-4.220in Bores-Round Bore

Starting with a .051 inch compressed thickness and a 4.220 inch bore diameter, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Chevy Gen 1 Small Block V8 engines. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output applications, offering a robust seal without needing additional sealants. This gasket is a solid choice for pairing aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multi-layer steel construction can manage the shearing forces that arise between dissimilar metals.

The strength of this gasket comes from its multiple layers of stainless steel, which also allow it to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be adjusted to meet different requirements, providing flexibility in engine builds. This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the 1980-1986 Chevrolet C10, 1980-1986 Chevrolet Camaro, and 1980-1986 GMC C1500.
