What is the primary function of a head gasket?

A head gasket seals the combustion chamber, preventing gases from escaping and fluids like oil and coolant from mixing. It's critical for maintaining engine compression and preventing leaks between the cylinder head and engine block.

What does MLS mean for this head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses several layers of stainless steel with specialized coatings, offering improved sealing and durability under high pressure and temperature conditions compared to traditional composite gaskets.

Does this gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product listing is for the Cometic Multi-Layer Steel head gasket only. It does not include installation hardware such as head bolts or studs. You will need to source these separately if required for your engine build.
