Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .052in MLX Cylinder Head Gasket-4.220in Bores-Round Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This design helps ensure a solid seal, even with aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, and it doesn't require any additional sealants. The gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches and is designed for 4.220-inch bores with 18/23 degree heads and round bores, including steam holes.

Cometic's MLS gaskets are well-built for high-output engines. They're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and resistance to corrosion. This construction also allows the gasket to rebound and maintain its seal under stress. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.052-inch specification on this particular gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC vehicles from the early 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. It's a solid option when you're rebuilding the top end of your Gen 1 Small Block V8 engine and need a dependable seal.
