What does MLS stand for in Cometic MLS Head Gaskets?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel to create a strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant gasket that can handle high-output engines.

Do I need to use sealant with this Cometic head gasket?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require any additional sealants for installation.

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

Viton is a heat-resistant rubber material used to coat the outer layers of the gasket. It's chosen for its ability to withstand harsh sealing environments, high temperatures, and various surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 5.4L 3-valve engine, getting the right head gasket is crucial. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is specifically made for the right-hand side (RHS) of your engine, with a 94mm bore and a compressed thickness of .030 inches. It's designed to handle the demands of modern, higher-output engines, providing a reliable seal without needing any extra sealants.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes, making it suitable for pairings like aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is also stainless steel, and Cometic uses these layers to achieve the specific .030 inch compressed thickness needed for your rebuild.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the mid-2000s, including models like the Ford Expedition, F-150, and Mustang. Make sure to check the fitment details to confirm it's the right part for your specific application.
