Construction & Design

The Cometic MLS Head Gasket features a multi-layer steel design that combines strength and flexibility. Each layer is precision-formed to provide a tight seal that can withstand the thermal expansion and contraction typical in high-performance V10 engines. The embossed outer layers are coated with Viton, a high-performance elastomer known for its resistance to heat, oil, and chemicals, which enhances gasket longevity and reliability.

This gasket’s robust construction ensures it resists corrosion and maintains its sealing integrity over time, even when exposed to the extreme temperatures and pressures generated by the Dodge Viper’s powerful 8.0L V10 engine.
