Construction & Design:
The Cometic MLS Head Gasket is crafted from premium stainless steel layers that provide exceptional strength and flexibility. The multi-layer design allows the gasket to rebound and maintain a tight seal even under thermal expansion and contraction cycles common in high-performance engines. The embossed outer layers are coated with Viton rubber, a synthetic fluoropolymer known for its excellent heat resistance and chemical stability. This coating enhances the gasket’s ability to seal against combustion gases, coolant, and oil, preventing leaks and maintaining engine integrity.
Each gasket undergoes precise manufacturing processes to ensure consistent thickness and bore dimensions, critical for maintaining proper engine compression and preventing head warpage. The combination of materials and engineering makes this gasket a reliable choice for both stock and modified engines.
