What is the main advantage of using a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets, like this Cometic C5269-092, are made of multiple layers of stainless steel. This construction provides increased strength and resilience compared to older gasket types, helping to maintain a strong seal under various engine conditions.

What does the Viton coating on the gasket do?

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers of the gasket helps to create a superior seal. It's designed to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and can withstand high temperatures, up to 482°F (250°C).

Does this gasket come with any hardware or sealant?

This product is for the Cometic C5269-092 head gasket only. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any required additional sealants or hardware needed for proper installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8, a reliable head gasket is crucial for a good seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures of performance engines and everyday driving alike. It's designed for a 4.060-inch bore and has a thickness of .092 inches, making it a solid choice for many engine builds.

Cometic uses three to five layers of stainless steel for these gaskets. Stainless steel offers increased strength and resists corrosion, which is important for longevity. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. This coating helps ensure a tight seal even under demanding conditions and across different surface finishes.

This gasket fits a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC vehicles from the early to mid-1980s, including popular models like the C10, Camaro, and Caprice. It's also compatible with Avanti II and Checker Marathon vehicles from the same era.
