What is the main advantage of using a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket?

MLS gaskets, like this Cometic C5468-051, are made from multiple layers of stainless steel. This construction provides superior sealing performance, increased strength, and better resistance to corrosion compared to older gasket materials.

What does the Viton coating on the gasket do?

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers of the gasket helps it meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and varying load conditions. It's heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring a reliable seal in high-temperature engine operation.

Does this gasket come with any hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. It does not include head bolts or other installation hardware. You will need to source those separately if required for your engine rebuild.

Product Details

This product is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for 5.7L Gen-3 Hemi engines. It features a 3.950-inch bore and a thickness of .051 inches, specifically for the LHS (Left Hand Side) cylinder head.

This coating is designed to perform well in harsh sealing environments and under various load conditions, with a heat resistance up to 482°F (250°C). This makes it a solid option for rebuilding or repairing your Hemi engine.
