About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches and features a 4.160-inch bore, making it suitable for a wide range of Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material designed to handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes, while the center layer is stainless steel. This construction helps these gaskets withstand the forces created when mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks.

MLS gaskets are known for their strength and ability to rebound, which helps them resist corrosion and maintain a seal under high output conditions. Because they are made from multiple layers of stainless steel, they offer increased durability. Cometic designs these gaskets to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants, simplifying installation for many applications. They are a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your engine's top end.

This gasket fits a broad spectrum of vehicles from the early 1980s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Corvette, as well as GMC trucks. Always double-check the fitment guide to ensure it matches your specific vehicle.
