Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .102in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore - 18/23 Degree Head

Cometic Gasket has a reputation for making well-built engine components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines and is built to handle the demands of higher output applications. This gasket features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps maintain a solid seal over time. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal even with aluminum heads on cast iron blocks.

The compressed operating thickness of this gasket is 0.036 inches, and it has a bore size of 4.165 inches, suitable for 18/23 degree cylinder heads. It also includes steam holes. 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, including models like the Chevrolet Corvette, GMC C1500, and Buick Regal, among many others.
