Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.040in Bore

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a Chrysler LA V8 engine, this gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output applications. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing any extra sealants, making the job a bit more straightforward.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to meet different requirements, like the 0.036-inch compressed operating thickness on this particular gasket. This construction makes it suitable for combinations of aluminum heads with aluminum blocks, or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks, as it can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and Bristol 409. It's a well-built component designed for reliable sealing in performance-oriented V8 engines.
