About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2003-2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser with the 2.4L turbo engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for keeping everything sealed up tight. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F, ensuring a reliable seal even under tough conditions. This design works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and the .040 inch compressed thickness is specifically chosen for this application. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants.

This gasket is designed as a direct fit for your PT Cruiser's 2.4L turbo engine, with a bore size of 87.5mm. It's a well-built component that helps ensure proper compression and prevents coolant and oil leaks between the cylinder head and the engine block.
