What is the main advantage of the Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction?

The MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which provides increased strength and better resistance to corrosion compared to older gasket types. This construction helps ensure a reliable seal under demanding engine conditions.

What is the purpose of the Viton coating on the gasket?

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers helps the gasket conform to engine surfaces and meet the demands of harsh sealing environments. It's also heat resistant, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C).

Does this gasket come with any hardware?

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 the EJ25 DOHC engine in your 1998 Subaru Forester, Impreza, or Legacy, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket is constructed with three to five layers of stainless steel. Cometic chooses stainless steel because it offers increased strength, good rebound characteristics, and resists corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and then coated on both sides with a Viton rubber material. This coating is heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C) and helps the gasket handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes on your engine components.

This particular gasket has a 100mm bore and is .080 inches thick, which is important to note for your specific engine build. It's designed to fit right and help ensure your engine runs smoothly after reassembly.
