I'm trying to find cometic head gaskets big block 4.560 bore .040 thickness. Cometic is like 8 weeks out. Whats the deal with that? Any other alternative quality head gaskets? Or, does anyone have any of these laying around that you would sell? I have some .050, but to thick.

Mancini is lists a 4.60" .040 Cometic, #cagc5799-040, if that helps. Amazon also claims to have 3 at this same bore in stock. Bill

I was just looking on summit's site for some MLS gaskets for a sb chevy I'm building...they only had like 3 types in stock. I couldn't believe that.

Not to change the subject but is everybody as tired as I am at the lack of service that all of these MFG and a lot of dealers have now ? I mean come on ?? Covid is real but to blame your short comings on a Virus is too much. It seems to be an excuse for poor work ethic to me in a lot of cases. Ok sorry for the rant , Continue on with your post.

I don’t know why you guys are having issues with so many vendors. Don at 4secondsflat treated me great, cosmetic gaskets guys were great, Harlan Sharp made a set of custom offset rockers and shipped with them three days of their projected times, summit is maybe taking one day longer than usual, UPS has been terrific, UPS was even better than expected throughout the election and holidays. Maybe I’m just lucky.

Some companies are still doing like they are supposed to but way to many times have I heard due to "Covid 19" My butt , Its due to not doing your darn job and using that as an excuse.
