About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chrysler B/RB V8 engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure and coolant. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and block.

This gasket is constructed with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material designed to perform in harsh sealing environments and accommodate various surface finishes. The compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.051 inches, and it features a 4.350-inch bore, making it suitable for a range of Chrysler B/RB V8 applications. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.

This gasket fits a wide variety of Chrysler, Dodge, and DeSoto vehicles from the late 1950s through the late 1970s, including models like the Chrysler New Yorker, Dodge Charger, and DeSoto Adventurer. It's designed to work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks and heads, offering flexibility for different engine builds.
