Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .075in AFM Oil Pan Gasket Kit-Right Side Dipstick-Thick Front Seal

If you're working on a Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 and need to replace the oil pan gasket, this kit from Cometic Gasket is a solid option. It's designed to provide an excellent seal between the oil pan and the engine block, which is crucial for preventing oil leaks and keeping your engine properly lubricated. This particular gasket is .075 inches thick and features a right-side dipstick configuration with a thick front seal, specific to certain Gen-1 Small Block V8 applications.

The gasket material used here is Cometic's AFM, a chemically blown nitrile synthetic rubber bonded to an aluminum core. It's built to handle temperatures over 250°F and offers 85 percent recovery, meaning it can compress and then return to shape well, maintaining a strong seal over time. A notable benefit of AFM material is that it doesn't require gasket sealers or re-torquing after installation, which can simplify the job. This kit fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Buick Regal, and GMC C1500 from the early to mid-1980s.
