Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore - With 318 A Head

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for creating robust sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example of their work. It's built for Chrysler LA V8 engines, specifically those with a 4.180-inch bore and designed to work with the 318 A head. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring a solid seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it 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 tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine requirements; in this case, it's set to a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches for a .045-inch installed height. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a good choice for engines using both aluminum and cast iron blocks and heads, as it can manage the stresses that arise from different material combinations.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge D150 Pickup, Chrysler Newport, and Dodge Charger from various years. It's a well-built component designed for reliable performance in your LA V8 engine.
