What is Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction?

MLS gaskets use multiple layers of stainless steel to create a strong and durable seal. This design helps the gasket resist corrosion and maintain its shape under pressure and heat.

What is the purpose of the Viton coating?

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers of the gasket helps it seal effectively against the cylinder head and block. It's designed to withstand high temperatures and harsh sealing environments.

Does this gasket come with any hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. It does not include head bolts or other installation hardware, which should be sourced separately if needed.
