About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer layer coated with Viton rubber. When compressed, it measures 0.036 inches thick, making it suitable for a range of vehicles including the Toyota FJ Cruiser, 4Runner, and Tacoma, as well as Dodge Challenger and Charger models. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to handle the demands of high-output engines and are ideal for sealing between aluminum and cast iron blocks without needing additional sealants.

The strength of these gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material designed to perform well in tough sealing environments, even under various load conditions and on different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.036 inches found in this specific gasket.
