About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket features an embossed outer layer coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. This specific gasket is designed for a 77mm bore and has a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches, with an uncompressed thickness of .056 inches. It's built to handle the demands of high-output engines and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The multi-layer stainless steel construction gives this gasket increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps ensure a consistent seal. Because it's made of multiple layers of stainless steel, it also offers good corrosion resistance. The Viton coating on the outer layers is tough and can handle a variety of challenging sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variation in thickness to meet specific requirements.

This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding the top end of your D15Z1, D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8, or D16Z6 engine. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants.
