Construction & Design

This MLS gasket features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, delivering exceptional strength and flexibility to maintain a tight seal under high pressure and temperature. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a fluorocarbon elastomer known for its excellent heat resistance up to 250°C (482°F) and chemical durability. This coating enhances the gasket’s ability to maintain sealing integrity even in extreme thermal environments.

The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control to meet the exact specifications of the engine. The embossed design creates a controlled compression zone that adapts to surface irregularities on the cylinder head and block, ensuring a consistent and reliable seal throughout the engine’s operating life.
