What makes this gasket different from a standard composite gasket?

This gasket uses a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction, which is generally stronger and more durable than traditional composite gaskets. The stainless steel layers and Viton coating are designed to handle higher temperatures and pressures found in performance applications.

Does this gasket come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This product is for the cylinder head gasket only. It does not include head bolts or other installation hardware. It is recommended to inspect and replace head bolts as part of a head gasket job, and to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific hardware requirements.

What is the purpose of the Viton coating on the gasket?

The Viton rubber coating on both sides of the gasket helps create a superior seal. It's designed to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes, while also providing excellent resistance to heat and engine fluids.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is a prime example. It’s designed specifically for Chrysler Gen-2 Hemi engines, featuring a 4.250-inch bore and a .098-inch thickness, making it a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading these classic powerplants. This gasket is built to handle the demands of these engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket is constructed from three to five layers of stainless steel. Cometic chooses stainless steel because it offers increased strength, good rebound characteristics, and resists corrosion, which is important for longevity in the engine bay. The outer layers are embossed and then coated on both sides with a Viton rubber material. Viton is chosen for its heat resistance, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), and its ability to conform to different surface finishes and load conditions, creating a robust seal even in harsh environments. This construction helps ensure a consistent and durable seal for your Gen-2 Hemi.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles from the late 60s and early 70s, including models like the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Plymouth Barracuda. When you're rebuilding or refreshing the top end of your Gen-2 Hemi, a quality gasket like this one is crucial for proper engine function and performance.
