Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.040in Bore - With 318 A Head

If you're working on a Chrysler LA V8 engine and need a new head gasket, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is a solid option. It's designed with a 4.040-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .030 inches, specifically made to work with heads like the 318 A head, or those from Engine Quest and Edelbrock. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a strong seal without needing any extra sealants.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and various surface finishes. This construction makes it suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the different expansion rates and shearing forces between these materials. The center layer is also stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.

This gasket fits a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth V8 applications from the mid-60s through the early 90s, including models like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and Plymouth Barracuda. It's a well-built component designed for reliable sealing in your engine rebuild.
