Cometic Cummins 5.9L ISB .072in MLX Cylinder 4.100in Bore Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built engine components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on your 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummins 5.9L ISB engine, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of your truck. It's built to provide maximum sealing performance, especially important for high-output engines where a reliable seal is critical to prevent leaks and maintain compression.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is designed to work in harsh sealing environments and on various surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches and a bore size of 4.100 inches.

Because it's a Multi-Layer Steel gasket with the Viton coating, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. This makes it a solid option whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or an aluminum head with a cast iron block, as it can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
