Cometic GM LS Gen-3/4 Small Block V8 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.060in Bore

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for their multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets, and this C5751-098 is a prime example of their work. It's built for GM LS Gen-3 and Gen-4 small block V8 engines, featuring a 4.060-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .098 inches. These gaskets are designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, making them a solid choice for rebuilds or performance applications.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is designed to seal effectively in tough conditions and on various surface finishes, whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .098 inches on this particular gasket.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac CTS, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Because they require no additional sealants, installation is straightforward, making them a popular choice for mechanics and DIYers alike.
