What is the main advantage of the MLS construction?

The multi-layer steel (MLS) construction offers increased strength and better resistance to corrosion compared to older gasket types. This helps ensure a reliable seal under demanding engine conditions.

What does the Viton coating do?

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers is designed to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and varying load conditions. It's also heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C), helping to maintain the seal.

Does this gasket come with any hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. You will need to source any necessary head bolts or other installation hardware separately.

About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic MLS head gasket, specifically designed for GM Dart and Brodix Small Block V8 engines. It features a thickness of .036 inches and is built for a 4.270 inch bore with a 4.500 inch bore center. This gasket is a solid choice for rebuilding or repairing the top end of a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet C10, GMC C1500, and Buick Regal from the early to mid-1980s.

Cometic constructs these gaskets using three to five layers of stainless steel. This material choice offers increased strength and helps the gasket rebound well while resisting corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with a Viton rubber material. This coating is heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C) and is made to handle tough sealing conditions and various surface finishes you might encounter during an engine build.
