About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches, featuring embossed outer layers coated with Viton rubber. This design is ideal for sealing high-output 6.1L HEMI engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks. The multiple stainless steel layers offer increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the Viton coating can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, meeting the demands of harsh sealing environments.

The construction of these MLS gaskets means they don't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to accommodate different thickness needs, making this a well-built option for rebuilding or repairing your engine's top end. You can expect a solid seal that can withstand the shearing forces created when joining dissimilar block and head materials.
