What is the compressed thickness of this gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic MLS head gasket is 0.098 inches. This is achieved through its multi-layer steel construction and the specific thickness of the center shim layer.

Do I need to use any sealant with this head gasket?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require any additional sealants. The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers ensures a strong seal against the engine block and cylinder head.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). It's used on the outer layers of this gasket to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes found in high-output engines.

About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Chrysler LA V8 engines. It's specifically made for a 4.180-inch bore and features a .060 inch thickness, intended for use with the 318 A head. This gasket fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Newport, and Dodge Charger, providing a reliable seal for your engine rebuild or repair.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes without needing additional sealants. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine requirements, making these gaskets suitable for both aluminum and cast iron block applications.
