Construction & Design

The Cometic MLS head gasket is crafted from multiple layers of high-grade stainless steel, which provides exceptional strength and the ability to rebound under pressure. This multi-layer design ensures a tight, reliable seal that adapts to the thermal expansion and contraction of engine components. The embossed outer layers enhance the gasket’s ability to seal against microscopic surface imperfections, preventing leaks and maintaining compression.

Both sides of the gasket are coated with a Viton rubber material, known for its excellent chemical resistance and durability. This coating helps the gasket maintain its seal even under extreme heat and exposure to engine fluids, making it ideal for the demanding environment of the Dodge Viper’s V10 engine.
