Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.030in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. It's designed for a 4.030-inch bore and is 0.030 inches thick, with a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches. This gasket is a solid option for Chrysler LA V8 engines, fitting a wide range of vehicles from 1959 through the early 90s, including models like the Dodge B-series vans and Chrysler Cordoba.

The MLS construction offers increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping to resist corrosion and withstand the shearing forces between different block and head materials, making it suitable for both aluminum and cast iron combinations. The Viton coating on the outer layers is heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C) and handles harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for thickness variations to meet different build requirements. Because it's an MLS gasket, it seals effectively without needing additional sealants.
