What does MLS stand for in a head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel to create a strong, durable gasket that can withstand the demands of high-output engines and varying material combinations between the cylinder head and engine block.

Do I need to use sealant with this Cometic head gasket?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance on its own and does not require any additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers helps create a reliable seal.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of synthetic rubber that is highly resistant to heat, withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. It's used on the outer layers of this gasket to ensure a robust seal in harsh engine environments and to accommodate different surface finishes.
