Cometic Chrysler 392 FirePower .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.000in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a 4.000-inch bore, making it a solid choice for engines like the Chrysler 392 FirePower. The multi-layer stainless steel construction provides increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while also allowing the gasket to rebound effectively under stress. This design is well-suited for applications involving aluminum heads paired with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can arise between dissimilar metals.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit (250 C). This coating is designed to perform reliably in demanding sealing environments, under various load conditions, and on different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, allowing for precise tuning. Because it's an MLS gasket, it seals effectively without the need for additional sealants, simplifying installation.

This gasket fits a range of classic Chrysler vehicles from 1957-1958, including models like the Chrysler 300 and Imperial, as well as the Facel Vega Excellence. It's a well-built component designed for reliable sealing in performance applications.
