About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Cummins 6.7L ISB engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure and coolant. This Cometic MLX head gasket is built for the job, featuring a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction designed to handle the demands of high-output engines.

This gasket is made with multiple layers of stainless steel for 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 helps ensure a reliable seal even under tough conditions and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the overall compressed thickness is 0.098 inches, with a bore size of 4.312 inches, specifically for the 6.7L Cummins ISB engine.

This gasket is designed to fit right without needing additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a well-built component for your Ram 2500 or 3500 equipped with the 6.7L Cummins ISB engine.
