Cometic C5917-070 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket for Chrysler LA - V8 318

The Cometic C5917-070 is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered specifically for Chrysler LA V8 engines with 318 A-heads. This precision-manufactured gasket features a .070" (1.78mm) compressed thickness and is designed for a 4.080" bore diameter, making it ideal for performance builds and engine rebuilds requiring enhanced sealing capability.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel construction provides superior sealing and durability under high-performance conditions
• .070" compressed thickness allows for precise compression ratio tuning
• 4.080" bore diameter accommodates standard and slightly overbored applications
• Application-specific design for Chrysler LA V8 engines with 318 A-heads
• MLS technology offers excellent resistance to combustion pressure and thermal cycling
• Engineered to handle increased cylinder pressures in modified engines

Cometic MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with a Viton rubber coating, creating a gasket that recovers quickly from thermal expansion and contraction. This design makes them particularly well-suited for turbocharged, supercharged, and high-compression naturally aspirated applications where conventional gaskets may fail.
