What is the main benefit of a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets offer improved strength and sealing performance compared to traditional composite gaskets. Their layered construction helps them resist shearing forces and corrosion, making them ideal for high-output engines.

Does this Cometic head gasket require sealant?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a reliable seal.

What is the purpose of the Viton coating on the outer layers?

The Viton coating is a heat-resistant rubber material that meets the demands of harsh sealing environments and varying load conditions. It helps ensure a durable and effective seal, especially at higher temperatures.

About this part

Product Details

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the high output of modern engines and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482 F, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes.

The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, with this specific gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.056 inches. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. These gaskets are well-built and offer increased strength due to their layered stainless steel construction, which also helps them rebound and resist corrosion.
