What is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

An MLS head gasket is made from several layers of stainless steel. Each layer is coated to help it seal tightly against the engine block and cylinder head, providing a strong and durable seal.

Why is the bore size and thickness important for a head gasket?

The bore size must match your engine's cylinder bore to ensure a proper seal around the combustion chamber. The thickness affects the compression ratio and valve-to-piston clearance, so using the correct thickness is important for engine performance and longevity.

Does this head gasket come with any other necessary parts?

This product is for the head gasket only. It's recommended to check your service manual for any other components or hardware that may need to be replaced during your engine rebuild.
