What does MLS stand for in a head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses several layers of stainless steel to create a strong, durable gasket that can handle high pressures and temperatures.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of synthetic rubber known for its excellent heat resistance, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F. It's used as a coating on the outer layers of the gasket to create a reliable seal against the engine block and cylinder head.

Does this gasket come with any hardware?

This Cometic head gasket is sold individually. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's instructions for any specific hardware requirements or if new head bolts are needed for installation.
