Cometic Oldsmobile 370/371 Gen1 Rocket V8 .060in MLS Cyl Head Gasket-4.190in Bore-J-2 Golden Rocket

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Oldsmobile 370/371 Gen 1 Rocket V8, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these classic V8s, ensuring reliable performance and preventing leaks between the cylinder head and the engine block.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion, which also helps the gasket rebound and maintain its seal. 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 components. This gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.060 inches and a bore size of 4.190 inches, designed to fit a range of Oldsmobile models from the late 1950s, including the 88 and 98 series.

This gasket is designed for a direct fit and doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a well-built component that helps ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
