Cometic Oldsmobile Gen-2 Rocket V8 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.200in Bore

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making reliable sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed for the Oldsmobile Gen-2 Rocket V8 engine and features a 4.200-inch bore with a compressed thickness of .080 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a strong seal without the need for additional sealants.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is designed to perform well in tough sealing environments and on various surface finishes. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .080-inch specification on this particular gasket. MLS gaskets are suitable for combinations of aluminum heads with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, and Oldsmobile models from the 1960s through the early 1980s. It's a solid option for rebuilding or repairing your Gen-2 Rocket V8 engine.
