Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.060in Bore - Vortec Heads

Cometic Gasket has a solid reputation for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is no exception. It’s designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, specifically those using Vortec heads and requiring a 4.060-inch bore. If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, getting the head gaskets right is crucial for proper compression and preventing leaks.

This gasket is constructed from three to five layers of stainless steel, which offers increased strength and resists corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating helps ensure a strong seal even under demanding conditions and across different surface finishes. The valve pocketed bore design is also a notable detail for this application.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, GMC C1500, and Buick Century from the early to mid-1980s. It's a solid option when you need a reliable seal for your Gen-1 Small Block V8 rebuild.
