About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-2006 Dodge Viper, getting the right head gasket is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring your cylinders stay sealed under pressure.

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 tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This construction means the gasket requires no additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center layer can be varied in thickness, and in this case, it's set at a compressed operating thickness of .060 inches with a 4.125-inch bore, specifically suited for the Viper's engine.

This gasket is designed to work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and it can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metal types. It's a well-built component for anyone looking to ensure a reliable seal in their Viper's engine.
