Cometic Chrysler Gen-2 Hemi .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.375in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring outer layers coated with Viton rubber. When compressed, it measures 0.051 inches thick and is designed for a 4.375-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 expansion rates of these materials.

The strength of these gaskets comes from their multi-layer stainless steel construction, which also allows them to rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, designed to perform reliably in harsh sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements. These gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines and do not require additional sealants.

This gasket fits a range of classic Mopar V8 vehicles, including models like the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Plymouth Barracuda from the late 1960s and early 1970s. It's a well-built component designed for reliable performance in demanding engine applications.
