Cometic Chevy Gen1 Small Block V8 .120in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.165in Bore - Vortec Heads

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making reliable sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's built specifically for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, particularly those equipped with Vortec heads. This gasket plays a crucial role in keeping your engine's combustion chambers sealed, ensuring proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks between the block and the cylinder head.

This gasket is constructed from three to five layers of stainless steel. Cometic chooses stainless steel because it offers increased strength, good rebound characteristics, and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and then coated on both sides with a Viton rubber material. This coating is designed to handle tough sealing environments and varying load conditions, and it's heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C). The 4.165-inch bore size is specific for these engines, and the .120-inch thickness is a common spec for rebuilding or mild performance applications.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500 from the 1980s. When you're rebuilding the top end of your Gen-1 Small Block V8, a well-made MLS gasket like this one is essential for a long-lasting seal.
