What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

This Cometic MLS head gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches. The center layer of stainless steel can be varied to accommodate different thickness requirements.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a heat-resistant elastomer, a type of rubber, that can withstand temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). It's used on the outer layers of this gasket to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and ensure a reliable seal.

Do I need to use any sealant with this head gasket?

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

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 on both sides. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, providing a strong seal without needing additional sealants. It's well-suited for combinations of aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise between different metals.

The stainless steel layers give this gasket increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be adjusted to meet different requirements, with this specific gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 87mm.
