Cometic Oldsmobile Gen-2 Rocket V8 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.400in Bore

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s built for Oldsmobile Gen-2 Rocket V8 engines and is designed with a 4.400-inch bore and a compressed thickness of .080 inches. This gasket is a great choice for rebuilding or upgrading engines that see higher output, as MLS construction offers improved strength and sealing performance compared to traditional composite gaskets. It fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models from the late 60s and 70s.

The construction here is pretty advanced. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it a lot of strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and works well with different block and head materials, like aluminum to cast iron. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine build needs, like this .080 inch version. Because it's MLS, it doesn't require any extra sealants, making installation more straightforward.
