The Cometic MLS head gasket for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 with Vortec heads (4.165in bore) is listed with a compressed operating thickness of 0.036" and noted compatibility with some World Products blocks; it installs without sealants. Constructed from multiple embossed stainless steel layers with Viton-coated outer faces and an uncoated center shim, the gasket resists corrosion, rebounds under load, and evens clamp pressure to reduce bore distortion when mating dissimilar materials.
