What does a cylinder head gasket do?

A cylinder head gasket seals the space between your engine block and cylinder head. This is vital for maintaining compression within the combustion chambers and preventing coolant and oil from mixing or leaking out.

Why is it important to use the correct gasket for the left side?

Engines often have specific gaskets for the left and right sides, especially V-type engines. Using the correct left-side gasket ensures it aligns properly with all the ports and passages for a complete and effective seal.

What is multi-layer steel construction?

Multi-layer steel (MLS) construction uses several thin layers of steel bonded together. This design offers excellent sealing capabilities under high pressure and temperature, making it a strong choice for modern engines.
