1992–2002 Dodge Viper SR I Engine

Part #: C5113-056

Overview

The Cometic Chrysler SR I Viper .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket is engineered specifically for the high-performance demands of the Dodge Viper SR I engines produced between 1992 and 2002. Designed to provide a reliable and durable seal between the cylinder head and engine block, this multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket ensures optimal compression and prevents leaks under extreme conditions. Ideal for enthusiasts and professional builders alike, it supports both street and track applications where engine integrity and longevity are critical.

With a bore size of 4.030 inches and a thickness of .056 inches, this gasket is tailored to maintain precise sealing for the Viper’s large displacement V10 engine, helping to preserve engine performance and reliability during high-stress operation.

Key Features

Cometic’s MLS cylinder head gasket incorporates advanced materials and design elements to meet the rigorous demands of performance engines:

• Constructed from three to five layers of high-grade stainless steel for superior strength and durability
• Outer layers are embossed to enhance sealing capability and conform to surface irregularities
• Coated on both sides with heat-resistant Viton rubber, rated up to 250°C (482°F), to resist corrosion and chemical attack
• Designed to withstand harsh sealing environments, including high combustion pressures and thermal cycling
• Precision-engineered for the 4.030-inch bore size of the Chrysler SR I Viper engine
• Thickness of .056 inches balances sealing integrity with proper compression height
• Rebounds effectively to maintain a tight seal over time, reducing the risk of head gasket failure
• Compatible with factory and aftermarket cylinder heads for the Dodge Viper SR I

Construction & Design

The Cometic MLS gasket features a robust multi-layer design, utilizing stainless steel layers that provide exceptional tensile strength and resistance to warping. The embossed outer layers improve the gasket’s ability to conform to the cylinder head and block surfaces, ensuring a consistent seal even under extreme pressure and temperature fluctuations.

Both sides of the gasket are coated with a Viton rubber compound, known for its excellent heat resistance and chemical stability. This coating enhances the gasket’s sealing properties by filling microscopic surface imperfections and preventing leaks caused by coolant, oil, or combustion gases. The combination of stainless steel and Viton coating results in a gasket that is both durable and reliable for high-performance Viper engines.

Installation & Fitment

This gasket is a direct fit replacement for Dodge Viper models equipped with the SR I V10 engine from 1992 through 2002. Installation requires standard head gasket replacement procedures and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper torque specifications and surface preparation. No modifications to the engine block or cylinder head are necessary, making it an ideal upgrade for rebuilds or repairs.
