Cometic Chrysler Gen-2 Hemi .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.500in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. The compressed operating thickness is 0.036 inches, and it's designed for a 4.500-inch bore, making it a solid choice for Chrysler Gen-2 Hemi engines. MLS gaskets are ideal for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that arise from the different materials. They offer increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is specifically designed to handle harsh sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different gasket thickness requirements. Because of their construction, these MLS gaskets provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines and do not require additional sealants.

This gasket fits a range of classic Mopar vehicles, including models like the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Plymouth Barracuda from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Always refer to manufacturer instructions for specific installation details.
