The Cometic MLS-5 Head Gasket is a premium multi-layer steel gasket engineered specifically for the Chrysler 6.1L Gen-3 Hemi engines found in select Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep SRT8 models from 2005 to 2010. Designed to deliver superior sealing performance under high combustion pressures and extreme thermal conditions, this gasket is ideal for performance enthusiasts, professional engine builders, and mechanics seeking a reliable OEM-quality replacement.
Whether you are rebuilding, upgrading, or repairing your high-output Hemi engine, the MLS-5 gasket ensures optimal compression retention and leak prevention. It supports both naturally aspirated and mildly tuned applications, making it a trusted choice for street, performance, and light track use.
Cometic’s MLS-5 Head Gasket combines advanced materials and precision engineering to provide a durable, high-performance seal:
The MLS-5 gasket features a robust multi-layer steel design that balances strength and flexibility to maintain a tight seal under fluctuating engine conditions. Premium stainless steel layers provide exceptional resistance to warping and fatigue, while the embossed outer layers enhance surface contact for improved sealing against the cylinder head and block.
Both sides of the gasket are coated with a heat-resistant Viton rubber compound, which offers excellent resistance to oil, coolant, and combustion gases. This coating helps prevent leaks and gasket degradation, even in demanding high-temperature environments. Cometic’s precision manufacturing ensures consistent thickness and bore dimensions, critical for maintaining proper engine compression and preventing head gasket failure.
This head gasket is a direct replacement for the Chrysler 6.1L Gen-3 Hemi engines installed in the following vehicles:
Installation follows standard head gasket replacement procedures. It is essential to adhere to manufacturer torque specifications and thoroughly prepare the cylinder head and block surfaces to ensure optimal sealing. No modifications are required when used with compatible factory or aftermarket cylinder heads and engine blocks.
This gasket is perfect for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and mechanics who demand a durable, OEM-quality sealing solution for Chrysler 6.1L Hemi engines. It is well suited for daily driving, spirited street performance, and mild track use, providing peace of mind with its advanced sealing technology and robust construction.

Their catalog spans head gaskets and complete gasket sets across a wide range of applications, helping builders maintain reliable combustion and fluid sealing under extreme pressure and heat.
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!
