Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.040in Bore - With 318 A Head

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Chrysler LA V8 engines with a 4.040-inch bore and the 318 A head. It's built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber for a robust seal. This gasket is specifically made to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces between different metals.

The multi-layer steel construction gives this gasket increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material designed to perform well in tough sealing environments, under various load conditions, and on different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine build requirements, with this particular gasket being 0.060 inches thick before compression, resulting in a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the 1970-1974 Dodge Challenger, 1975-1983 Chrysler Cordoba, and 1968-1974 Dodge D100 Pickup. It's designed for a direct fit and requires no additional sealants, making installation straightforward when rebuilding or repairing your engine.
