4.160 MLS Head Gasket .030 - SBC Brodix

The Cometic Gaskets 4.160 MLS Head Gasket .030 for SBC Brodix heads is an essential sealing component designed specifically for small-block Chevrolet engines equipped with Brodix cylinder heads. This gasket plays a crucial role in maintaining compression, preventing coolant and oil cross-contamination, and ensuring optimal performance in high-performance and racing applications.

Constructed from Multi-Layer Steel (MLS), this gasket features a compressed thickness of .030 inches, tailored for Brodix head geometry and 4.160-inch bore applications typical in small-block builds. The MLS design offers superior re-sealing capabilities under thermal cycling and pressure spikes, which is vital for engines subjected to sustained boost, nitrous, or high RPM conditions. Cometic's proprietary facing technology ensures a tight seal against both iron and aluminum surfaces without requiring excessive clamp load.

This gasket is particularly beneficial for Brodix head users and small-block Chevrolet enthusiasts aiming to build serious power. Proper installation requires adherence to torque sequencing and the use of quality fasteners; it is advisable to verify head bolt specifications with your engine builder or Brodix documentation to achieve the necessary clamping force.
