What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness for this Cometic MLX head gasket is 0.036 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring proper valve-to-piston clearance and compression ratios.

Does this gasket require any sealant?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require any additional sealants. The multi-layer steel construction and Viton coating ensure a reliable seal.

What makes the Viton coating important?

The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes the gasket suitable for harsh sealing environments and helps it maintain its integrity under high heat conditions.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic MLX head gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel, a strong choice for high-output engines. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes.

Designed for a 96mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, this gasket is specifically for the left side of your engine. Its multi-layer steel construction offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the embossed layers help ensure a solid seal without needing additional sealants. This makes it a good option for engines with aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces between different metals.
