Cometic Pontiac 350 V8 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.950in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed stainless steel outer layers that have a heat-resistant Viton rubber coating. It's designed with a compressed operating thickness of 0.030 inches and a bore size of 3.950 inches, making it a solid choice for Pontiac 350 V8 engines. MLS gaskets are ideal because they offer maximum sealing performance for engines that run at higher outputs and don't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. They work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, handling the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their multiple stainless steel layers, which also help them rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is rated for temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit (250 C), handling tough sealing conditions and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be adjusted to meet different requirements. This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Pontiac Firebird, LeMans, and Tempest.
