SBC Titan Copper Head Gasket 4.155 x .043

The SBC Titan Copper Head Gasket 4.155 x .043 from SCE Gaskets is designed specifically for small-block Chevrolet engines that demand maximum reliability and thermal stability in high-performance scenarios. This gasket is essential for those rebuilding street engines, preparing track vehicles, or working on boost-assisted applications, as it serves as a critical seal between the cylinder head and block.

Constructed from 100% virgin copper, the Titan line outperforms traditional materials like compressed asbestos and modern composites in terms of thermal conductivity and reusability. The gasket's 4.155-inch bore diameter aligns perfectly with small-block Chevrolet specifications, while the .043-inch compressed thickness provides the necessary clamp load without requiring excessive surface preparation. Copper gaskets are known for their ability to conform to micro-surface irregularities, reducing hot-spot formation and enduring repeated heating cycles.

This gasket is compatible with SBC variants ranging from 283ci to 406ci displacements and is suitable for nitrous, supercharged, or naturally aspirated applications. It is particularly beneficial for high-RPM builds where temperature fluctuations can exceed 300°F. Proper installation requires torquing the cylinder head bolts to specification in the correct sequence to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
