Construction & Design

The Cometic MLS gasket features a robust multi-layer steel design that combines strength with flexibility. Each gasket consists of multiple stainless steel layers that provide the necessary rigidity to maintain a tight seal while allowing for slight movements and thermal expansion between the cylinder head and engine block. The stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in harsh operating environments.

Both sides of the gasket are coated with a Viton rubber material, known for its exceptional heat resistance and sealing capabilities. This coating enhances the gasket’s ability to conform to surface irregularities, preventing leaks and maintaining compression integrity. The embossed outer layers improve gasket grip and sealing performance, making it suitable for the high-stress conditions found in the Dodge Viper’s SR I engine.

Installation & Fitment

This gasket is designed as a direct replacement for the Chrysler SR I engine used in Dodge Viper models from 1992 through 2002. Installation requires standard cylinder head gasket replacement procedures and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper torque specifications and surface preparation. No modifications are necessary, as the gasket matches OEM bore dimensions and thickness (.030 inch) for a precise fit.

Proper installation will help maintain engine compression, prevent coolant and oil leaks, and support the overall reliability of your Viper’s powerplant.
