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

MLS head gaskets, like this Cometic C5456-056, use multiple layers of stainless steel. This construction provides superior strength, better sealing capabilities, and improved resistance to corrosion compared to older gasket designs.

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

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers of the gasket helps to create a tight seal against the engine block and cylinder head. It's designed to withstand high temperatures and harsh operating conditions, ensuring reliable performance.

Does this gasket come with all necessary hardware for installation?

This product is for the Cometic head gasket only. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult a professional to determine if any additional hardware, such as head bolts or studs, are required for your specific application.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket starts with a core made of three to five layers of stainless steel. Cometic chose stainless steel because it's strong, resists corrosion, and can rebound well under pressure, which is crucial for a good seal. The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and then coated on both sides with a Viton rubber material. This Viton coating is designed to handle tough sealing jobs, various load conditions, and different surface finishes on your engine block and heads. It's heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C), making it a solid choice for many Chrysler LA V8 engines.

This gasket has a .056 inch thickness and a 4.180 inch bore, making it suitable for a wide range of Chrysler LA V8 applications from the 1960s through the 1990s. You'll find it fits vehicles like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and even some Bristol models from the 60s. The MLS design and Viton coating work together to create a reliable seal, helping to prevent leaks and maintain compression in your engine.
