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

An MLS head gasket is made of multiple layers of steel. This construction allows it to handle higher pressures and temperatures compared to traditional composite gaskets, providing a more robust seal for your engine.

What does the bore size and thickness mean for my engine?

The 70mm bore size is specific to the engine's cylinder diameter, ensuring a proper seal around the combustion chamber. The .030 inch thickness affects the compression ratio; a thicker gasket generally lowers it slightly, while a thinner one raises it.

Is this gasket suitable for performance applications?

Yes, MLS head gaskets are well-suited for performance applications due to their strength and ability to maintain a seal under high stress and temperature conditions often found in modified engines.

About this part

Product Details

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with a 70mm bore and a .030 inch thickness, specifically for the 2001-2003 Suzuki GSX-R600. MLS gaskets are known for their durability and ability to handle high compression and temperature changes, making them a solid choice for engine rebuilds or performance modifications where sealing integrity is critical.

The layered construction of this gasket allows it to conform to the mating surfaces while maintaining consistent clamping force across the entire sealing area. This design helps prevent leaks and blowouts, even under demanding conditions. It’s a well-built component designed to ensure a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.
