Key Features:

Built to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance and daily-driven engines, the Cometic MLS Cylinder Head Gasket includes the following key features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction with multiple embossed stainless steel layers for enhanced strength and durability
• Outer layers coated with Viton rubber, a heat-resistant elastomer rated up to 250°C (482°F) for superior sealing under extreme conditions
• Compressed operating thickness of 0.040 inches, optimized for precise sealing and gasket rebound
• Designed to accommodate the shearing forces between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks
• Corrosion-resistant materials to extend gasket life and maintain seal integrity
• Embossed outer layers improve sealing against combustion pressures and prevent leaks
• No additional sealants required, simplifying installation and reducing potential failure points
• Compatible with a wide range of factory and aftermarket cylinder heads for 4.7L PowerTech engines

Construction & Design:

The Cometic MLS Cylinder Head Gasket features a sophisticated multi-layer design composed of stainless steel layers that provide exceptional strength and flexibility. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a premium rubber elastomer known for its resistance to heat, chemicals, and wear. This coating ensures a reliable seal against harsh combustion environments and varying surface finishes.

The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness customization to meet specific engine requirements. This layered construction enables the gasket to absorb and rebound from the stresses caused by thermal expansion and the differing materials of the engine block and cylinder head, preventing leaks and gasket failure.
