About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of a classic Pontiac V8, like a 389 or 421, getting the head gasket right is crucial for a solid seal. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with HP shim technology that increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This is especially helpful for open deck blocks, ensuring a better seal and helping prevent leaks.

The embossed outer layers of this gasket are coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and various fluids. This construction helps the gasket maintain its seal under the demanding conditions found in a performance engine. It's designed for a 4.300-inch bore and is 0.040 inches thick, making it a precise fit for many classic Pontiac engines from the late 50s and 60s, as well as some Jaguar models from the same era.
