Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.125in Bore

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Chrysler LA V8 engines. It features a 4.125 inch bore and a compressed thickness of .086 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of classic Mopar vehicles like the Dodge Charger, Chrysler Cordoba, and Dodge D150 pickups.

MLS head gaskets are a solid choice for high-output engines because they offer excellent sealing performance without needing additional sealants. The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments. This design works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks and heads, as it can manage the stresses created when different metals are used together.

The center layer of stainless steel can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, and in this case, it's set to provide a .086 inch compressed thickness. The Viton coating on the outer layers is rated for temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal under demanding conditions.
