Cometic Chrysler LA V8 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.180in Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. It's designed with a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches and a bore size of 4.180 inches, making it suitable for a range of Chrysler LA V8 engines, including those found in vehicles like the Dodge Charger, Chrysler Cordoba, and Dodge D150. MLS gaskets are known for their strength and ability to rebound, resisting corrosion thanks to their multiple stainless steel layers. They are ideal for sealing aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metal types. Because of their construction, these gaskets do not require additional sealants for installation, simplifying the process.

The center layer of this gasket is uncoated stainless steel, which can be varied by Cometic to meet different thickness requirements. The Viton coating on the outer layers is specifically chosen to perform well in harsh sealing environments, under various load conditions, and on different surface finishes. This makes the gasket a solid option for high-output engines where reliable sealing is critical.
