What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic head gasket is 0.060 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring proper compression ratios and valve-to-piston clearance.

Can I use this gasket with different head and block materials?

Yes, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to work with both aluminum heads on aluminum blocks and aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. They are built to withstand the shearing forces created by these material combinations.

Does this gasket require any special sealants?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance and do not require any additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a reliable seal on its own.

About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Chrysler LA V8 engines. It features a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches and a 4.080-inch bore, specifically made to work with 318 A heads. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher-output engines, providing a strong seal without needing additional sealants.

The gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which increases its strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating ensures a reliable seal even in harsh conditions and across different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control. These MLS gaskets are suitable for combinations of aluminum and cast iron heads and blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that arise from these material pairings.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and Bristol 408. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding your application.
