Cometic Chevy Small Block 4.100 inch Bore .036 inch MLS Head Gasket (18 or 23 Deg. Heads)

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engine, this gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output builds. It's designed for a 4.100 inch bore and has a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, making it suitable for engines using either 18 or 23-degree cylinder heads.

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. This design means you don't need any extra sealants, and it works well whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces between those materials.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Corvette from the early to mid-1980s. It's a well-built component designed for reliable sealing in your engine build.
