Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - With 318 A Head

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. With a compressed operating thickness of 0.040 inches and a bore size of 4.180 inches, it's designed for Chrysler LA V8 engines, specifically for use with 318 A heads. This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading engines that see higher output, fitting a wide range of vehicles including Dodge trucks and Chrysler cars from the 1960s through the 1990s.

The MLS construction provides increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping to resist corrosion and withstand the shearing forces between different metal types, making it suitable for aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks. The Viton coating on the outer layers is heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C) and handles demanding sealing environments. Because it's an MLS gasket, it seals effectively without needing additional sealants, simplifying installation.
