Cometic Gasket MLS Exhaust Manifold / Header Gaskets

1992–1995 Dodge Viper, 1996–2002 Dodge Viper 8.0L V10

Part #: C5679-030

Overview

The Cometic MLS Exhaust Manifold / Header Gaskets are precision-engineered sealing solutions designed specifically for the Dodge Viper 8.0L V10 models from 1992 through 2002. Utilizing advanced Multi-Layered Steel (MLS) technology, these gaskets provide a durable and reliable seal between the exhaust manifold or header and the cylinder head. Ideal for enthusiasts and professionals seeking long-lasting performance, these gaskets maintain proper torque settings and resist common issues such as gasket push-out and burn-through.

Whether you are performing routine maintenance, upgrading your exhaust system, or restoring your Dodge Viper, Cometic MLS gaskets ensure a leak-free seal that withstands the demanding thermal and mechanical stresses of high-performance V10 engines.

Key Features

Cometic MLS Exhaust Manifold Gaskets incorporate advanced technology and materials to deliver superior sealing performance. Key features include:

• Multi-Layered Steel (MLS) construction for enhanced durability and heat resistance
• Compressible design to seal less-than-perfect sealing surfaces effectively
• Maintains torque settings to prevent loosening during engine operation
• Compatible with different combinations of cylinder head and exhaust manifold materials
• Resistant to gasket push-out and burn-through under extreme exhaust temperatures
• Precision manufacturing ensures consistent thickness and fitment
• Designed specifically for Dodge Viper 8.0L V10 engines from 1992 to 2002

Construction & Design

These exhaust manifold gaskets feature a robust Multi-Layered Steel (MLS) design, a technology borrowed from Cometic’s renowned head gasket line. The MLS construction consists of multiple layers of high-grade steel, which provide excellent strength and flexibility. This layered approach allows the gasket to conform to minor surface imperfections, ensuring a tight seal even on older or slightly warped cylinder heads and manifolds.

The compressible nature of the gasket material helps maintain consistent sealing pressure, reducing the risk of exhaust leaks and improving overall engine efficiency. The materials used are engineered to withstand the high heat and corrosive environment typical of exhaust systems, ensuring long service life and reliable performance.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Cometic MLS Exhaust Manifold Gaskets is straightforward for experienced mechanics and enthusiasts familiar with exhaust system work. These gaskets are designed as direct replacements for the factory gaskets on Dodge Viper 8.0L V10 engines from 1992 to 2002, requiring no modifications to the manifold or cylinder head.

Proper torque specifications should be followed to ensure the gasket maintains its seal and longevity. The gasket’s compressible layers help accommodate slight variations in surface flatness, making installation more forgiving while still delivering a reliable seal.
