Cometic MLS 4.060" Bore .060" Head Gasket: Dodge Viper 1996-2006 8.0L & 8.3L V10
Cometic Gasket MLS Head Gasket
1996–2006 Dodge Viper 8.0L & 8.3L V10
C5814-060
Overview:
The Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gasket is engineered specifically for the Dodge Viper models from 1996 through 2006 equipped with the 8.0L and 8.3L V10 engines. Designed to deliver superior sealing performance, this gasket is ideal for high-output, high-performance engines that demand durability and reliability under extreme conditions. It eliminates the need for additional sealants, providing a clean, efficient installation and long-lasting service life.
Whether you are rebuilding your engine or upgrading for enhanced performance, this head gasket offers the strength and resilience required to maintain a perfect seal between the cylinder head and engine block, ensuring optimal compression and preventing leaks.
Key Features:
Cometic MLS head gaskets incorporate advanced materials and design features to meet the rigorous demands of performance engines:
- Multi-layer stainless steel construction for increased strength and durability
- Outer layers coated with Viton rubber for superior heat resistance and sealing
- Embossed outer layers to enhance sealing capability and accommodate surface irregularities
- Compressed operating thickness of 0.060" for precise fitment and optimal sealing
- Compatible with aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks
- Resistant to corrosion and capable of withstanding shearing forces between dissimilar metals
- Requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation and reducing potential failure points
- Designed to handle high cylinder pressures typical of Viper’s V10 engines
Construction & Design:
This head gasket features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and the ability to rebound under thermal cycling and mechanical stress. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a high-performance fluorocarbon elastomer known for its excellent heat resistance up to 250°C (482°F) and chemical stability. This coating ensures a reliable seal even under harsh operating conditions.
The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness customization to meet specific engine requirements. The multi-layer steel design effectively manages the differential expansion between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, preventing gasket failure due to shearing forces.
Installation & Fitment:
The Cometic MLS head gasket is a direct fit replacement for Dodge Viper 8.0L and 8.3L V10 engines from 1996 to 2006. Installation requires standard head gasket replacement procedures with no modifications necessary. Due to its multi-layer steel construction and Viton coating, no additional sealants or adhesives are needed, simplifying the installation process and ensuring a clean, professional finish.
What's Included:
- One Cometic MLS Head Gasket with 4.060" bore and 0.060" compressed thickness
Ideal For:
This head gasket is ideal for Dodge Viper owners, engine builders, and performance enthusiasts seeking a reliable, high-quality sealing solution for their V10 engines. It is especially suited for those performing engine rebuilds, upgrades, or repairs who require a durable gasket capable of withstanding high cylinder pressures and thermal stresses without compromise.
