What does MLX technology mean for this head gasket?

MLX stands for Multi-Layer Stopper. This technology incorporates an integrated stopper layer that helps seal the combustion chamber and improves the clamp load around the cylinder without causing bore distortion.

Does this gasket require any special sealants or installation procedures?

No, this Cometic MLX head gasket is designed for a direct installation and does not require any additional sealants. You also do not need to re-torque the head bolts after the initial installation.

What is the benefit of the Viton coating on both sides?

The Viton coating on both sides of the gasket helps to improve sealing against engine fluids and provides resistance to high temperatures, contributing to the gasket's overall durability and performance.

About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic MLX head gasket, designed for GM L83, L8B, L82, and L84 Gen-V Small Block V8 engines. It features a 3.875-inch bore and a thickness of .052 inches, making it a solid option for rebuilding or replacing your cylinder heads on a range of GM trucks and SUVs like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon.

The MLX design uses an integrated stopper layer to ensure a strong seal around the combustion chamber. This technology, similar to Cometic's MLS gaskets, helps maintain clamp load without distorting the bore. The gasket is coated on both sides with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and fluids, which aids in sealing. You won't need to use any additional sealants or re-torque the head bolts after installation.
