Cometic Chrysler Gen-2 Hemi .072in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.500in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output Gen-2 Hemi engines, providing a strong seal without the need for additional sealants. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for a variety of harsh sealing environments and surface finishes. This gasket fits a range of classic Mopar vehicles, including models like the Dodge Charger, Plymouth Barracuda, and Dodge Challenger from the late 60s and early 70s.

The multi-layer stainless steel design offers increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion and withstand the shearing forces that can occur between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, with this specific gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 4.500 inches. These gaskets are a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your engine's top end.
