Cometic Chevy Small Block 4.165 inch Bore .045 inch MLS Head Gasket (w/All Steam Holes)

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chevy Small Block V8, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice. It's designed for a 4.165 inch bore and features all the necessary steam holes to help manage heat. Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance, making these gaskets a popular option for high-output engines.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating helps ensure a reliable seal against the cylinder head and block, even with different materials like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The compressed thickness is 0.045 inches, and these MLS gaskets don't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.

This gasket fits a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC vehicles from the early 80s, including models like the C10, Camaro, and Caprice, as well as Buick Century and Regal applications. It's a well-built component designed to handle the demands of a rebuilt engine.
