What makes a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket different?

MLS gaskets are made of multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and resilience compared to single-layer gaskets. They are designed to handle the high pressures and temperatures of modern engines without deforming.

Does this gasket require any sealant?

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 tight seal against the engine block and cylinder head.

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

Viton is a high-performance, heat-resistant synthetic rubber material. It's used here to create a robust seal that can withstand the demanding conditions and high temperatures found in engine combustion chambers, ensuring long-term reliability.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Chrysler LA V8 engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built for the job, offering a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches and a 4.080-inch bore, making it suitable for a wide range of Chrysler LA V8 applications, including vehicles like the Dodge Charger, Chrysler Cordoba, and Dodge D150.

Cometic’s MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that handles tough sealing environments and various surface finishes without needing additional sealants. This construction is ideal for mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, or aluminum to aluminum, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control to meet specific engine build requirements.
