Cometic Dodge 2/2.4L DOHC 420A Motor 87.5mm bore .040 thick MLS Head Gasket

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. When compressed, it measures a precise 0.040 inches thick, with an 87.5mm bore, making it suitable for a range of Chrysler, Dodge, Mitsubishi, and Plymouth vehicles from the mid-90s, including the Dodge Neon and Mitsubishi Eclipse. MLS gaskets are known for providing excellent sealing performance, especially for engines that see higher output, and they don't require any additional sealants to do their job effectively. They are a solid choice for pairing aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the stresses that arise from dissimilar metals working together.

The strength of these gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape under pressure. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material designed to handle tough sealing conditions, varying loads, and different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine requirements, though this specific gasket is set at 0.040 inches.
