Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .140in 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. It's built with a 4.040-inch bore and is specifically made to work with the 318 A head configuration. If you're rebuilding the top end of your classic Mopar V8, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressures and coolant passages.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple embossed stainless steel layers. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that handles tough sealing environments without needing additional sealants. This construction is strong and resists corrosion, making it suitable for various engine builds, including those with aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. The center layer can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, and this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, with an uncompressed thickness of .140 inches.

This gasket fits a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles from the 1960s through the 1990s, including models like the Dodge D150 pickup, Chrysler Cordoba, and Dodge Charger. It's a well-built component for high-output engines.
