Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .075in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore - Vortec Heads

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, specifically those with Vortec heads. It features a 4.165-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.075 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets using multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even in harsh conditions. This construction method means the gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. They are suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks and heads, as they can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
