• Designed to withstand the shearing forces between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks
• Corrosion-resistant materials to extend gasket life
• No additional sealants required, simplifying installation
• Viton coating rated for heat resistance up to 250°C (482°F)
• Center shim layer of uncoated stainless steel tailored for thickness and durability

Construction & Design

The Cometic MLS Head Gasket features multiple embossed layers of high-grade stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and the ability to rebound under pressure. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a fluorocarbon elastomer known for its excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, and wear. This coating ensures a reliable seal even under extreme thermal and mechanical stress.

The gasket’s design accommodates the differential expansion rates of aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks, preventing leaks caused by material shearing. The 0.030" compressed thickness is optimized for maintaining proper sealing without compromising engine tolerances.
