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

MLS head gaskets offer improved sealing performance for high-output engines due to their layered stainless steel construction. This design provides increased strength, resistance to corrosion, and the ability to rebound, making them ideal for demanding applications.

Why is the Viton coating on the outer layers important?

The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This ensures a reliable seal in harsh engine environments and helps the gasket meet the demands of various load conditions and surface finishes.

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

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed for maximum sealing performance and typically does not require any additional sealants. The embossed layers and Viton coating work together to create a robust seal on their own.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with three layers of stainless steel, featuring an embossed design on the outer layers. These outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring a strong seal even in demanding conditions. The compressed operating thickness is precisely 0.075 inches, and the 83mm bore is designed to match specific Honda engines.

MLS gaskets are a solid choice for high-output engines because their layered construction provides increased strength and resistance to corrosion. They are also well-suited for applications involving aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that can occur between these different materials. Because they are designed for maximum sealing performance, these gaskets typically do not require any additional sealants.
