Cometic 89-98 Dodge Cummins Diesel 4.188 inch Bore .067 inch MLX Head Gasket

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Dodge Cummins Diesel, getting the head gasket sealed up right is critical. This Cometic MLX head gasket is built for the 5.9L 6BT engine found in models from 1989 through 1998, offering a 4.188 inch bore and a .067 inch compressed thickness. It's designed to handle the demands of these powerful engines, ensuring a solid seal between your cylinder head and block.

Cometic uses a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for this gasket, which means it's made up of several layers of stainless steel. This design gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and withstand the forces created when mating different metals like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even under tough operating conditions. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements, with this particular gasket set at a .067 inch thickness.

This gasket is a well-built option for your Cummins rebuild, designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants. It fits a range of Dodge trucks, including models like the D250, Ram 2500, and W350 from the specified years.
