About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, designed for engines that need a solid seal. You get one gasket in this package, featuring a 94mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance, and the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing jobs without needing extra sealants.

MLS gaskets are a good choice for modern, high-output engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with cast iron. The layered steel construction helps manage the stress between different metals, and the Viton coating ensures a reliable seal even under demanding conditions. The center layer of stainless steel can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, and this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, with an initial thickness of .051 inches.
