About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Mitsubishi 6G72 V-6 engines. You get one MLS head gasket, which is .045 inches thick with a 93mm bore, ready to help seal your cylinders. MLS gaskets are built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that handles harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes without needing additional sealants.

This gasket is well-suited for engines with aluminum heads paired to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet different engine requirements. This particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.045 inches, making it a solid option for many builds.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Dodge Stealth, and Mitsubishi Diamante. Always check the full fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
