Cometic Oldsmobile Gen-2 Rocket V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed thickness of .030 inches and a 4.400-inch bore, making it a solid choice for Oldsmobile Gen-2 Rocket V8 engines. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to handle high output and demanding conditions, offering a robust seal without the need for additional sealants. They are well-suited for combinations of aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multiple stainless steel layers can manage the shearing forces that arise between dissimilar metals.

The construction features embossed outer layers coated with Viton, a heat-resistant synthetic rubber capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This material is chosen for its resilience in harsh sealing environments. The core of the gasket is an uncoated stainless steel layer, which can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine requirements. This design provides increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the multiple layers offer a degree of rebound to accommodate engine movement.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Buick LeSabre, Chevrolet Camaro, and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper fitment and procedures.
