Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .075in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - Vortec Heads

Starting with a compressed operating thickness of 0.075 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious sealing performance. It's specifically designed for Chevy Gen 1 Small Block V8 engines, particularly those using Vortec heads, and features a 4.080-inch bore. This gasket is a solid choice for high-output engines because its construction helps prevent leaks and blowouts under pressure.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their multi-layer stainless steel construction, which gives them 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 and works well with different surface finishes. This combination means the gasket can handle the stresses between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, or even aluminum to aluminum, without losing its seal. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different build requirements.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. Because it's a Multi-Layer Steel design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
