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

MLS head gaskets are made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which provides increased strength and resilience. They are also resistant to corrosion and can better handle the shearing forces between different block and head materials, making them ideal for high-output engines.

Does this gasket require any special sealants during installation?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance on its own and does not require any additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a proper seal.

What is the function of the Viton coating on the outer layers?

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material that can withstand high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). It helps create a robust seal in demanding engine environments and is compatible with various surface finishes.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for creating dependable sealing products, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed specifically for Chrysler LA V8 engines, featuring a 4.125-inch bore and is intended for use with 318 A heads. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This makes it suitable for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine needs. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants for installation.

This Cometic head gasket fits a wide range of Chrysler and Dodge vehicles from the 1970s and early 1980s, including models like the Dodge Charger, Chrysler Newport, and Dodge D150 Pickup. It's a solid option for anyone rebuilding or repairing their LA V8 engine.
