Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.040in Bore - With 318 A Head

Cometic Gasket is well-known for their multi-layer steel head gaskets, and this C5916-027 model is built to handle the demands of high-output engines. This gasket is designed for Chrysler LA V8 engines with a 4.040-inch bore and is specifically made to work with 318 A heads. It's a multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket, which means it's made of several layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. This construction also allows it to rebound and maintain its seal under stress.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating ensures a strong seal even in harsh conditions and across different surface finishes, making it suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The compressed operating thickness is 0.027 inches, and the center layer is uncoated stainless steel, which can be varied for different thickness requirements. This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and Bristol 410.
