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

A Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is made from several layers of stainless steel. These layers are often embossed and coated to create a strong, flexible seal that can withstand high temperatures and pressures found in performance engines.

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 of your engine; a .030 inch gasket is often used in specific engine builds to achieve a desired compression level.

Does this head gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. It does not include head bolts or other installation hardware. You will need to use new head bolts and refer to your service manual for proper installation procedures and torque specifications.
