Cometic MLS cylinder head gasket for GM LS Gen-3/4 small-block V8 engines with a 3.970-inch bore and 0.040-inch compressed thickness. Embossed stainless steel outer layers coated with Viton provide sealing for high-output applications without sealants. The uncoated stainless center shim supports thickness variation; MLS construction evens load distribution, tolerates aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-iron interfaces, reduces clamp load and minimizes bore distortion. Viton coating resists heat up to 250°C (482°F).
