Cometic Chevy Small Block 4.060 inch Bore .098 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket (18 or 23 Deg. Heads)

When you're rebuilding a Chevy Gen-1 Small Block V8, getting the sealing right is crucial, especially with higher-output engines. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to handle that job. It's designed for a 4.060 inch bore and has a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches, fitting engines with either 18 or 23-degree cylinder heads. You'll receive one head gasket in this package, ready to be installed.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and helps them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes on your aluminum or cast iron block and heads. This design means they don't require any extra sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, but this specific gasket is set at 0.098 inches compressed.

This gasket is a solid option for a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC vehicles from the early 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably.
