What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic head gasket is 0.036 inches. This is achieved through its multi-layer steel design with a specific center shim layer.

Does this gasket require any additional sealants?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require any additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a reliable seal.

What types of engine block and head combinations can this gasket be used with?

This gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. Its multi-layer steel construction is built to withstand the shearing forces created by these different material combinations.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on your Dodge Challenger from 2015 to 2019, or even a Honda Prelude from the mid-90s, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines without needing extra sealants.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; in this case, it's set to provide an 0.080-inch compressed thickness with an 87.5mm bore, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups. This construction helps it withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metal types.
