Cometic Chevy Small Block 4.060 inch Bore .075 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (18 or 23 Deg. Heads)

This is a Cometic Gasket MLS-5 head gasket, built for Chevy Small Block V8 engines with a 4.060 inch bore and designed for 18 or 23 degree cylinder heads. It has a compressed thickness of 0.075 inches. This gasket is a popular choice for a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500 from the early to mid-1980s.

Cometic's Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gaskets are constructed with 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 temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even in demanding conditions. This construction means the gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.075 inches found on this particular gasket.
