Overview:

The Cometic Gasket MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Cylinder Head Gasket is engineered to deliver superior sealing performance for a wide range of Jeep and Dodge vehicles, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee (1999–2004), Dodge Dakota (2000–2005), Dodge Durango (2000–2005), and Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models from 2002 through 2019. Designed for high-output engines, this gasket ensures a reliable seal between the cylinder head and engine block without the need for additional sealants.

Ideal for enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike, this gasket is built to withstand the demanding conditions of both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron engine configurations. Its robust construction provides enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion, making it a trusted choice for engine rebuilds and performance upgrades.

Key Features:

Cometic’s MLS Cylinder Head Gasket offers advanced technology and materials designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern engines:

• Multi-layer stainless steel construction for increased strength and durability
• Embossed outer layers coated with heat-resistant Viton rubber for superior sealing
• Compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches for precise fitment
• Compatible with aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks
• Resistant to corrosion and capable of rebounding under thermal cycling
• Designed to withstand shearing forces between dissimilar metals
• No sealants required, simplifying installation and ensuring consistent performance
• Specifically engineered for Chrysler 4.7L PowerTech engines with a 93mm bore

Construction & Design:

This MLS gasket is constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and flexibility. 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 a tight seal under extreme temperatures and pressures.

The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness adjustments to meet specific engine requirements. The embossed design of the outer layers improves sealing by creating a controlled compression zone that adapts to surface irregularities on the cylinder head and block.

Installation & Fitment:

The Cometic MLS Cylinder Head Gasket is designed for direct replacement on compatible Jeep and Dodge models without the need for modifications. Its precise dimensions and robust construction ensure a straightforward installation process. Because no additional sealants are required, installation time is reduced, and the risk of improper sealing is minimized.
