Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.125in Bore - 18/23 Degree Head

What you get here is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Chevy Gen 1 Small Block V8 engines. This gasket has a compressed thickness of .098 inches and is made to fit a 4.125 inch bore, with a round bore shape and provisions for steam holes. It's built to handle the demands of higher output engines and is suitable for use with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating helps ensure a good seal even under harsh conditions and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for different thickness options like this .098 inch version. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, GMC C1500, and Buick Regal. It's a solid option when you need reliable sealing for your engine rebuild.
