Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.080in Bore - With 318 A Head

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chrysler LA V8 engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressures and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of performance engines, offering a reliable seal without needing additional sealants. It's designed to work with both aluminum and cast iron blocks and heads, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

Cometic constructs this gasket using multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and various sealing conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to achieve the specified 0.027-inch compressed operating thickness, which results in a 0.036-inch installed height. This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and Bristol 408.
