About this part

Product Details

If you're working on the engine of your 1992-2006 Dodge Viper, a solid set of head gaskets is crucial for keeping everything running smoothly. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it ideal for harsh sealing environments. The compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.056 inches, with a bore size of 4.060 inches, designed to fit your Viper's specific engine configuration. These MLS gaskets don't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.

This gasket is suitable for use with both aluminum heads on aluminum blocks and aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. It's a well-built option for rebuilding or replacing the head gaskets on your Viper.
