Construction & Design

The Cometic MLS Cylinder Head Gasket is meticulously engineered using multiple layers of high-grade stainless steel to provide exceptional strength, flexibility, and durability. The embossed outer layers are coated with Viton, a premium fluorocarbon elastomer known for its outstanding resistance to heat, chemicals, and wear. This coating ensures a reliable seal even under harsh operating conditions, including high temperatures and fluctuating pressures.

The gasket’s center shim layer is made from uncoated stainless steel, allowing precise thickness customization to match specific engine requirements. This multi-layer design not only enhances sealing performance but also allows the gasket to maintain its seal despite the expansion and contraction of engine components during operation.
