What is the main advantage of using a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS gaskets, like this Cometic one, are made of multiple stainless steel layers. This construction offers improved strength, better sealing capabilities, and resistance to corrosion compared to older gasket types.

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

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers helps the gasket create a strong seal against the cylinder head and block. It's designed to withstand high temperatures, up to 482°F, and various sealing demands.

Does this gasket come with any hardware or sealant?

This product is for the Cometic MLS head gasket only. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any required sealants or additional hardware needed for proper installation.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Chrysler Gen-2 Hemi, you need a head gasket that can handle the power. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is designed specifically for those engines, with a bore size of 4.310 inches and a thickness of .098 inches. It's built to provide a solid seal between your cylinder head and engine block, which is crucial for maintaining compression and preventing leaks.

What you get here is a well-built gasket made from multiple layers of stainless steel. Cometic uses stainless steel because it's strong, can rebound well, and resists corrosion, which is important in the harsh environment of an engine. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. This coating helps the gasket seal effectively even under demanding conditions and on various surface finishes.

This gasket fits a range of classic Dodge and Plymouth vehicles from the late 60s and early 70s, including models like the Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Plymouth Barracuda. It's a solid option for anyone looking to ensure a reliable seal during their engine build.
