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

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for creating robust sealing solutions, and their Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are a prime example. If you're working on a Chrysler LA V8 engine that needs a new head gasket, this Cometic C5456-045 is built to handle the demands of higher output applications. It features a compressed operating thickness of .045 inches and is designed for a 4.180-inch bore, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and Dodge Charger.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping to resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating is designed to seal effectively in tough conditions and works well with different surface finishes, even when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is also stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing needs, ensuring a solid seal without the need for additional sealants.
