Key Features
Built to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance and OEM applications, the Cometic MLS Head Gasket delivers exceptional sealing and durability through advanced engineering:
- HP shim technology increases clampload for superior combustion chamber sealing, especially on open deck blocks
- Multi-layer steel construction provides strength and resistance to warping under high stress
- Optimized 0.036 inch thickness tailored for Chrysler 5.2L and 5.9L Magnum V8 engines
- 4.040 inch bore size with embossed outer layers to improve sealing surface contact
- Outer layers coated with Viton for enhanced chemical and heat resistance
- Designed to withstand high combustion pressures and thermal cycling without failure
- Compatible with open deck engine blocks common in Dodge and Jeep models
- Precision manufacturing ensures consistent fit and reliable performance every time
Construction & Design
The Cometic MLS Head Gasket is constructed from multiple layers of premium-grade steel, combining exceptional strength with flexibility to maintain a tight seal. The embossed outer layers increase the sealing surface area, while the Viton coating protects against oil, coolant, and extreme temperatures, ensuring a leak-free seal even under high thermal and mechanical stress.
Its 0.036 inch thickness is precisely calibrated to preserve proper engine geometry and compression ratios, making it an ideal replacement for factory gaskets or an upgrade for performance builds. The gasket’s design accommodates the open deck architecture of Chrysler Magnum V8 blocks, improving clamp load distribution and reducing the risk of gasket failure over time.
Installation & Fitment
This MLS head gasket is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Jeep and Dodge vehicles equipped with 5.2L and 5.9L Magnum V8 engines. Installation follows standard head gasket replacement procedures and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper torque specifications and surface preparation.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
