What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic MLS head gasket is .080 inches. This thickness is achieved through the center shim layer and the embossed outer layers.

Does this head gasket require any sealant?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a reliable seal.

What makes MLS head gaskets suitable for different block and head materials?

MLS gaskets are made of multiple stainless steel layers that can withstand the shearing forces created when joining dissimilar metals like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. This construction also provides increased strength and rebound resistance.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an 87mm bore and a compressed thickness of .080 inches. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes.

MLS gaskets are a strong choice for high-output engines because they offer excellent sealing performance without needing additional sealants. They are well-suited for applications joining aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The multiple stainless steel layers not only add strength but also provide rebound resistance and help fight corrosion.

The center shim layer is made of uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, like the .080 inch thickness on this particular gasket. This design makes it a solid option for rebuilding or modifying engines where reliable sealing is critical.
