Cometic Gasket GM LS Gen-3/4 SB V8 .063in DST Cyl. Head Gasket - 4.150in Bore - 1/2in Studs 1997-2017

Cometic C15741-063 delivers a .063in thick Direct Seal Technology (DST) multi-layer steel cylinder head gasket engineered for GM LS Gen-3/4 small block V8 engines with 4.150in bores and 1/2in studs. This gasket seals precisely in high-compression, boosted, and high-RPM applications common in LS performance builds. It supports modified blocks like Dart or World Products while maintaining head-to-block integrity under extreme conditions.

Key Features

  • Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) Design: Provides durable sealing against combustion gases and coolants in high-pressure environments up to 12:1 compression ratios and beyond.
  • 4.150in Bore Diameter: Matches enlarged LS bores for stroked crankshafts and big-bore kits without overhang or compression issues.
  • .063in Compressed Thickness: Allows flexibility for deck heights from 9.240in to 9.300in common in LS racing setups.
  • 1/2in Head Stud Compatibility: Works with ARP 2000 or Pro Series studs for secure clamping forces over 100,000 lbs.
  • Cathedral Port Configuration: Fits LS1/LS2/LS6/L92-style heads with precise fire ring placement for leak-free operation.

Product Notes

  • Requires mirror-polished deck surfaces on block and heads for optimal sealing.
  • Use MLS-specific head bolts or studs and torque in sequence to manufacturer specs.
  • Sold individually. order two for complete engine set.

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Verify bore size and deck flatness within 0.002in before installation.
  • Compatible with ARP 1/2in head studs. apply thin layer of oil to studs and use Cometic sealant on edges if needed.
