Cometic 98-02 Cummins 5.9L 24V Diesel .067in MLX 4.100in Head Gasket

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 with the 5.9L 24V Cummins diesel, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressures. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output diesel engines, ensuring a strong seal between your cylinder head and block without needing extra sealants.

This gasket is constructed from 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) and works well in harsh sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements, with this specific gasket having a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches and a bore size of 4.100 inches. This design makes it suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, effectively managing the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This Cometic head gasket is a well-built component designed for reliable performance in your Cummins engine. It's a popular choice for those working on their diesel engines, offering a robust sealing solution.
