Cometic 89-98 Cummins 12V Diesel 104.14mm Bore .072in MLX Head Gasket

This is the Cometic MLX Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, specifically made for the 1989-1998 Cummins 12V diesel engines. It has a 104.14mm bore and a compressed thickness of .072 inches. This gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber, preventing coolant and oil leaks, and maintaining proper compression in your engine.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and different surface finishes. This construction means the gasket requires no additional sealants and works well whether you have aluminum heads on an aluminum block or aluminum heads on a cast iron block. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .072 inch on this particular gasket.

This gasket fits a range of Dodge trucks from 1989 through 1998, including models like the D250, D350, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500. It's a well-built component designed to handle the demands of high-output diesel engines.
