Cometic GM Gen-V/VI Big Block V8 .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.540in Bore

This Cometic head gasket uses a multi-layer stainless steel design, with three to five layers of steel for increased strength and rebound. The stainless steel construction also helps resist corrosion, which is important for a long-lasting seal in harsh engine environments. This gasket is specifically built for GM Gen-V/VI Big Block V8 engines and features a 4.540-inch bore, making it suitable for a range of these powerful engines, including those found in Chevrolet C1500 and GMC C2500 models from the early to mid-90s.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and then coated on both sides with a Viton rubber material. This coating is designed to handle tough sealing conditions and varying surface finishes, and it's heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C). This updated design helps ensure a consistent and dependable seal, even under demanding load conditions common in these V8 applications.
