Cometic Oldsmobile Gen-2 Rocket V8 .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Oldsmobile Gen-2 Rocket V8, a reliable head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a solid seal without the need for additional sealants.

Cometic constructs these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material designed to perform in harsh sealing environments and on various surface finishes. This construction is ideal for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements, with this specific gasket set to a compressed operating thickness of .060 inches and a bore size of 4.400 inches.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, and Oldsmobile models from the 1970s and early 1980s. Ensure you have the correct bore size and thickness for your specific engine build.
