Cometic Chevy 2.2L 90mm .030in MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.030 inches and a 90mm bore, specifically designed for your 1994-2003 Chevrolet S10 with the 2.2L L43/LN2 Gen-2 122 engine. MLS gaskets are a smart choice for high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants, making them ideal for combinations of aluminum and cast iron engine blocks and heads. They can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metal types.

The strength of this gasket comes from its multiple layers of stainless steel, which also allow it to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F (250°C). Viton is chosen for its ability to perform in harsh sealing environments, under various load conditions, and on different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements, though this specific gasket is set at 0.030 inches compressed thickness.
