Cometic GM/Mercury 8.1L 496ci 4.280in .051 inch MLS Head Gasket - RH

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions for a wide range of vehicles. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is specifically designed for the GM/Mercury 8.1L (496ci) engine, often found in heavy-duty trucks and SUVs like the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD or GMC Sierra 3500. It's built to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring a reliable seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with both aluminum and cast iron engine components. The compressed operating thickness is 0.051 inches, and it's designed for the right-hand side cylinder head. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
