Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed stainless steel layers, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. With a compressed operating thickness of .051 inches and a bore size of 4.180 inches, it's designed to handle the demands of high-output Chrysler LA V8 engines. MLS gaskets are well-suited for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that arise from the different expansion rates of these materials. This design also contributes to increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the Viton coating is heat-resistant up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring a reliable seal in harsh conditions.

The multi-layer construction provides enhanced sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The center shim layer is made of uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to meet different thickness requirements. This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and Dodge Charger, among many others from 1964 through 1991. It's a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your engine's top end.
