Cometic Gasket MLS Head Gasket
1996–2006 Dodge Viper 8.0L & 8.3L V10
C5814-030
Overview:
The Cometic Gasket MLS Head Gasket is engineered specifically for the Dodge Viper models from 1996 through 2006, equipped with the powerful 8.0L and 8.3L V10 engines. Designed to deliver superior sealing performance, this multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket is ideal for high-output engines that demand reliability and durability under extreme conditions. It eliminates the need for additional sealants, providing a precise and consistent seal between the cylinder head and engine block.
Whether you are rebuilding your engine or upgrading for enhanced performance, this gasket ensures optimal compression and prevents leaks, making it a trusted choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Key Features:
Cometic’s MLS Head Gasket offers advanced technology and robust construction to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance engines:
- Multiple embossed layers of stainless steel for increased strength and durability
- Outer layers coated with Viton rubber, a heat-resistant elastomer rated up to 250°C (482°F)
- Compressed operating thickness of 0.030" for precise sealing
- Designed to withstand shearing forces between aluminum heads and both aluminum and cast iron blocks
- Corrosion-resistant materials ensure long-lasting performance
- No sealants required, simplifying installation and reducing potential failure points
- Center shim layer of uncoated stainless steel allows for thickness customization
- Ideal for high-output, naturally aspirated, and forced induction V10 engines
Construction & Design:
The Cometic MLS Head Gasket is constructed from multiple layers of high-grade stainless steel, each embossed to enhance sealing capability and flexibility. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a premium rubber compound known for its exceptional resistance to heat, chemicals, and wear. This coating ensures a reliable seal even under extreme thermal cycling and high combustion pressures.
The gasket’s design accommodates the different expansion rates of aluminum heads mated to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, preventing gasket failure caused by material shearing. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, providing structural integrity and allowing for precise thickness adjustments to meet specific engine requirements.
Installation & Fitment:
This MLS head gasket is a direct fit replacement for Dodge Viper models from 1996 to 2006 with 8.0L and 8.3L V10 engines. Installation requires standard head gasket replacement procedures and does not necessitate any modifications to the engine block or cylinder heads. The gasket’s design eliminates the need for additional sealants, streamlining the installation process and ensuring a consistent, leak-free seal.
