Key Features
Cometic’s MLS Head Gasket incorporates advanced materials and design elements to meet the rigorous demands of diesel engines. Key features include:
- Multi-layer stainless steel construction for enhanced strength and durability
- Embossed outer layers coated with heat-resistant Viton rubber for superior sealing
- Compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches for precise fitment
- Designed to handle the shearing forces between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks
- Corrosion-resistant materials to extend gasket life
- No sealants required, simplifying installation and reducing potential failure points
- Center shim layer of uncoated stainless steel to accommodate thickness variations
- Heat resistance up to 250°C (482°F) thanks to Viton coating
Construction & Design
The Cometic MLS Head Gasket is constructed from multiple embossed layers of high-grade stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and flexibility. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a fluorocarbon elastomer known for its excellent heat resistance and chemical stability, ensuring a reliable seal even under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. This design allows the gasket to rebound and maintain sealing integrity despite the expansion and contraction of engine components.
The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, which can be customized to meet specific thickness requirements, ensuring an exact fit for the engine’s combustion chamber. This multi-layer approach effectively manages the differential expansion between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks, preventing leaks and gasket failure.
Installation & Fitment
This MLS head gasket is designed as a direct replacement for the specified Dodge Ram diesel engines, requiring no modifications for installation. Its precise dimensions and robust construction allow for straightforward installation using standard procedures. Because no additional sealants are necessary, installation time is reduced and the risk of improper sealing is minimized.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
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!
