Construction & Design

The Cometic MLX gasket is crafted using multiple layers of high-quality stainless steel, combined with a proprietary integrated stopper layer that enhances sealing performance.

The gasket’s surface coatings provide excellent corrosion resistance and sealing against coolant and oil passages.

Manufactured with precision tolerances, the gasket ensures consistent thickness and bore dimensions, critical for maintaining proper engine compression and preventing leaks. The robust construction supports the demanding environments of high-performance Viper engines, delivering reliable service life even under aggressive driving conditions.
