What is the purpose of the HP shim technology in this gasket?

The HP shim technology is designed to increase the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This helps to create a stronger seal, particularly beneficial for engines with open deck blocks like the 6.1L Hemi.

What does the Viton coating on the outer layers do?

Viton is a type of synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat and various fluids. The coating on the outer layers of the gasket helps to improve its sealing performance and overall durability.

Is this gasket suitable for a stock 6.1L Hemi engine?

Yes, this Cometic MLX-5 head gasket is designed for the 6.1L Gen-3 Hemi engine with a 4.100-inch bore and .058-inch thickness. It is often used in rebuilds and performance applications where improved sealing is desired.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 with the 6.1L Gen-3 Hemi engine, this Cometic MLX-5 head gasket is a solid option. It's specifically made for a 4.100-inch bore and has a thickness of .058 inches, ensuring it fits right into your build.

What sets this gasket apart is its HP shim technology. This feature increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber, which is especially helpful for open deck blocks like the one in your Hemi. This means a more reliable seal, helping to prevent leaks and keep your engine running smoothly. The outer layers are also coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and fluids, further enhancing its sealing capabilities.
