Cometic's MLS head gasket for Chevrolet Gen‑1 Small Block V8 supplies robust sealing for performance rebuilds. It fits a 4.165 in bore and has a nominal 0.098 in thickness, designed for valve‑pocketed bores and steam hole arrangements. Built from embossed stainless steel layers with Viton‑coated outer faces and an uncoated shim layer, the gasket resists corrosion, accommodates thickness variation, spreads load across the sealing area, and requires less clamp load to reduce bore distortion.
