What is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

An MLS head gasket is made of several layers of stainless steel. This construction provides increased strength and resilience compared to traditional gaskets, making it ideal for high-output engines.

What is Viton coating and why is it used?

Viton is a heat-resistant synthetic rubber material. Coating the outer layers of the head gasket with Viton helps it withstand high temperatures and harsh sealing environments, ensuring a reliable seal.

Does this gasket require any sealant?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. It's ready to install right out of the box.
