About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, providing maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. It's a solid choice for builds using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multi-layer design helps manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements, with this specific gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches from its original 0.027 inch specification. This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Toyota Celica and MR2, as well as various Subaru vehicles such as the Forester and Impreza.
