What is MLX technology and why is it beneficial?

MLX stands for Multi-Layer Stopper. This technology uses an integrated stopper layer to enhance combustion chamber sealing and increase clamp load around the cylinder. It's designed to provide a strong seal without causing bore distortion.

Do I need to use any sealants with this head gasket?

No, this Cometic MLX head gasket is designed to be installed without any additional sealants. The MLX technology ensures a proper seal on its own.

Does this gasket require a re-torque after installation?

No, a notable advantage of the MLX design is that it does not require a re-torque procedure after installation. This simplifies the engine assembly process.

About this part

Product Details

The Multi-Layer Stopper (MLX) technology in this Cometic head gasket uses an integrated stopper layer to seal the combustion chamber and add clamping force around the cylinder. This design helps prevent leaks and maintain cylinder integrity without distorting the bore. It's built from the same well-known materials as Cometic's MLS head gaskets, ensuring a solid seal for your Dodge Cummins diesel engine.

This gasket is specifically designed for Cummins 5.9L 6BT engines and features a 4.188 inch bore with a .061 inch thickness. A key benefit of the MLX design is that it requires no additional sealants and does not need to be re-torqued after installation, simplifying the assembly process. This makes it a practical choice for engine rebuilds or repairs on a range of Dodge trucks from the late 80s through the late 90s, including models like the D250, Ram 2500, and W350.
