Cometic Gasket MLS Cylinder Head Gasket

1992–2002 Dodge Viper SR I Engine

Part #: C5113-060

Overview

The Cometic Chrysler SR I Viper .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket is engineered specifically for the Dodge Viper models from 1992 through 2002, featuring the SR I engine design. This multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket is designed to provide a reliable, durable seal between the cylinder head and engine block, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity. Ideal for enthusiasts and professionals seeking a high-quality replacement gasket that can withstand the demanding conditions of high-performance Viper engines.

Built to handle the extreme pressures and temperatures typical of the Viper’s powerful V10 engine, this gasket helps maintain proper compression and prevents leaks, contributing to consistent power delivery and engine reliability.

Key Features

Designed with advanced materials and precision engineering, the Cometic MLS gasket offers several key benefits:

• Multi-layer steel construction with three to five layers for superior strength and durability
• Outer layers embossed and coated with heat-resistant Viton rubber for enhanced sealing
• Viton coating withstands temperatures up to 250°C (482°F), suitable for harsh engine environments
• Excellent rebound characteristics to maintain a tight seal under varying load conditions
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel layers for long-lasting performance
• Specifically designed for a 4.030-inch bore, matching the Chrysler SR I Viper engine specifications
• Precision fitment ensures proper sealing without the need for modifications
• Compatible with both early (1992–1995) and later (1996–2002) Dodge Viper models

Construction & Design

The Cometic MLS gasket is crafted from high-grade stainless steel layers, chosen for their strength and resistance to corrosion. The multiple layers provide flexibility and resilience, allowing the gasket to maintain a reliable seal even under the extreme thermal expansion and contraction cycles experienced in high-performance engines.

The embossed outer layers are coated with Viton rubber, a synthetic fluoropolymer elastomer known for its exceptional heat resistance and chemical stability. This coating enhances the gasket’s ability to seal against a variety of surface finishes and withstand harsh sealing environments, including exposure to oil, coolant, and combustion gases.

Installation & Fitment

This gasket is designed as a direct replacement for the Chrysler SR I Viper engines with a 4.030-inch bore, fitting Dodge Viper models from 1992 to 2002 without requiring any modifications. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper torque specifications and surface preparation, which are critical for achieving a reliable seal and preventing leaks.

Using the correct gasket thickness of .060 inches helps maintain proper combustion chamber volume and compression ratio, preserving engine performance and efficiency.
