Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .062in MLX Cylinder Head Gasket-4.220in Bores-Round Bore

Starting with a .062 inch compressed thickness, this Cometic MLX head gasket is built for serious sealing. It's constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers featuring a heat-resistant Viton rubber coating. This design is ideal for pairing aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can develop between dissimilar metals. The multi-layer steel construction also gives the gasket strength and the ability to rebound, while resisting corrosion.

The Viton coating on the outer layers is designed to perform in harsh sealing environments and can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .062 inch on this particular gasket. This gasket also includes steam holes, which help manage heat and pressure within the engine. It's a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your Gen 1 Small Block V8, fitting a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks, cars, and performance models from the early to mid-80s.
