Cometic Chrysler B/RB V8 .070in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.250in Bore

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Chrysler B/RB V8 engines. It features a 4.250-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.070 inches. MLS gaskets are well-built for sealing high-output engines and don't require any additional sealants, making installation straightforward. They are suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and can handle the stresses between different metal types.

The gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.070-inch compressed thickness found in this specific gasket. This construction helps the gasket rebound and maintain its seal under demanding operating conditions.

This gasket fits a wide range 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. Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for detailed installation procedures.
