Key Features

Cometic MLS Head Gaskets combine advanced materials and precision engineering to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance engines. Key features include:

• Multi-layer stainless steel construction for increased strength and durability
• Embossed outer layers coated with heat-resistant Viton rubber for superior sealing
• Compressed operating thickness of 0.070 inches for optimal fit and compression
• Designed to handle the shearing forces between aluminum heads and iron blocks
• Corrosion-resistant materials to extend gasket life
• No sealants required, simplifying installation and reducing mess
• Center shim layer of uncoated stainless steel tailored for precise thickness requirements
• Heat resistance up to 250°C (482°F) thanks to Viton coating

Construction & Design

The Cometic MLS Head Gasket features a robust multi-layer steel design, consisting of several embossed stainless steel layers. The outermost layers are coated with Viton, a high-performance fluorocarbon elastomer known for its excellent heat resistance and sealing capabilities. This coating ensures a reliable seal even under extreme thermal and mechanical stress.

The gasket’s center shim layer is made from uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness adjustments to meet specific engine requirements. This layered construction not only provides exceptional strength but also allows the gasket to rebound and maintain its seal despite the differential expansion between aluminum heads and iron blocks.

Installation & Fitment

This MLS head gasket is designed as a direct fit replacement for Dodge 6.1L HEMI engines with iron blocks from 2005 to 2010. Installation requires standard head gasket replacement procedures with no additional sealants needed, thanks to the gasket’s advanced Viton coating. Proper torque specifications and head bolt tightening sequences should be followed to ensure optimal sealing and engine performance.
