Cometic Chevy Small Block Brodix (All 12-23 Deg Head) 4.030in Bore .080 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket

What you get here is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, specifically those using Brodix heads with 12-23 degree valve angles. This gasket has a 4.030 inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches. It's built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500 from the early to mid-1980s.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it 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 various surface finishes. This construction means the gasket seals effectively without needing additional sealants, and it works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the water ports are intentionally undersized to allow for customization during installation.
