Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.125in Bore

Cometic Gasket has built a reputation for making solid multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets, and this C5457-098 model is a great example. It's designed for Chrysler LA V8 engines with a 4.125-inch bore and a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches. These gaskets are built to handle the demands of high-output engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks. They are engineered to resist the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They use multiple layers of stainless steel, which not only adds strength but also allows the gasket to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even in tough conditions. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements. This design means you don't need any extra sealants for installation.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and Bristol 409. It's a well-built option for anyone rebuilding or upgrading their engine.
