Key Features:

Cometic’s MLS Cylinder Head Gasket incorporates advanced materials and design elements to meet the demands of modern engines:

• 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 capable of withstanding temperatures up to 250°C (482°F)
• Compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, ensuring precise sealing and fitment
• Designed to accommodate the shearing forces between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks
• Corrosion-resistant materials to extend gasket life and maintain sealing integrity
• Embossed outer layers improve surface contact and sealing performance
• Center shim layer of uncoated stainless steel allows for thickness customization and optimal compression
• No additional sealants required, reducing installation complexity and potential failure points
• Specifically engineered for Chrysler 4.7L PowerTech engines with a 93mm bore

Construction & Design:

The Cometic MLS Cylinder Head Gasket features a robust multi-layer steel design, combining several embossed stainless steel layers to provide exceptional strength and flexibility. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a high-performance rubber elastomer known for its excellent heat resistance and ability to maintain a reliable seal under extreme conditions. This coating also protects against corrosion and chemical degradation.

The gasket’s center layer is an uncoated stainless steel shim, which can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine requirements. This layered construction allows the gasket to absorb and rebound from the differential expansion between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks, preventing leaks caused by material shearing.

This gasket is designed for direct replacement on compatible vehicles, fitting perfectly without the need for modifications. Its MLS construction eliminates the need for additional sealants, streamlining the installation process. Proper torque specifications and installation procedures should be followed to ensure optimal sealing and longevity.
