Cometic Chrysler 318/340/360 4.040 inch Bore .027 inch MLS Head Gasket (Non SVO)

Starting with a compressed thickness of 0.027 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious sealing performance. It's constructed with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material designed to handle tough sealing jobs and various surface finishes. This gasket is well-suited for engines with aluminum heads paired to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between these materials.

Because it's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers increased strength and is designed to seal effectively without needing additional sealants. The center layer is also stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different engine build requirements, making it a versatile choice for many Chrysler LA V8 engines. This particular gasket is made for a 4.040-inch bore size, fitting a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles from the mid-60s through the early 90s, including models like the Dodge D150 Pickup, Chrysler Cordoba, and Plymouth Barracuda.
