About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. It's designed with a compressed operating thickness of .098 inches and a bore size of 4.060 inches, making it a solid choice for your AMC 4.0L inline 6 engine.

MLS gaskets are well-built for high-output engines and don't require any additional sealants. They work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and the multiple stainless steel layers offer increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness adjustments to meet specific engine needs.

This gasket is a popular option for rebuilding the top end of your Jeep Cherokee, Comanche, Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, or Wrangler. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance and withstand the demands of various sealing environments.
