Cometic Chevy Small Block 4.060 inch Bore .032 inch MLS Head Gasket (18 or 23 Deg. Heads)

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8, a good head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure and coolant. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a solid seal without needing extra sealants. It's designed to work with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and can handle the stresses that come from different materials working together.

This gasket features multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific needs; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and is designed for a 4.060 inch bore. It's also made to fit heads with either an 18 or 23-degree angle, and has a round bore, making it a versatile choice for many small block Chevy builds.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 80s through the mid-90s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Corvette. Make sure to check the fitment data to confirm it's the right choice for your specific application.
