What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic MLS head gasket is 0.027 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring proper compression ratios and valve-to-piston clearance after installation.

Does this head gasket require any sealant?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The multi-layer steel construction and Viton coating create a reliable seal on their own.

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

Viton is a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand high temperatures and harsh sealing environments. Coating the outer layers of the gasket with Viton helps ensure a durable and effective seal against combustion pressures and engine fluids.
