Cometic GM LAT/LE5/LE9 Gen-2 ECOTEC 90mm Bore .036in MLX Cylinder Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Gen-2 ECOTEC engine, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Cometic MLX head gasket is built for your 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, and it's designed to handle the pressures of the LAT, LE5, and LE9 engine families.

Cometic's MLX (Multi-Layer Stopper) design uses an integrated stopper layer to ensure a tight seal around the combustion chamber. This construction helps maintain clamp load without distorting the cylinder bore, which is important for long-term engine health. The gasket itself is made from the same well-regarded materials as Cometic's MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) gaskets, and it's coated on both sides with Viton for added sealing performance. You won't need to worry about applying extra sealants or re-torquing after installation.
