About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your 1992-2006 Dodge Viper. When you're rebuilding the top end of your Viper's engine, ensuring a solid seal between the cylinder head and the block is critical for performance and reliability. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, offering a robust solution that doesn't require additional sealants.

This gasket is constructed with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This advanced coating is designed to perform in harsh sealing environments and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, preventing issues caused by the shearing forces between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to achieve specific operating dimensions, with this particular gasket set to a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches and a bore size of 4.060 inches.
