Key Features
Cometic’s MLS head gasket incorporates advanced materials and design elements to meet the rigorous demands of today’s engines:
- Multi-layer steel construction for increased strength and durability
- Embossed outer layers coated with Viton rubber for superior sealing and heat resistance
- Compressed operating thickness of 0.030" to maintain optimal sealing under pressure
- Designed to withstand shearing forces between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel layers for extended service life
- Viton coating rated for heat resistance up to 250°C (482°F)
- Center shim layer of uncoated stainless steel to accommodate precise thickness requirements
- No sealants required, simplifying installation and reducing potential failure points
- Right-hand side orientation for exact fitment on the specified engine
Construction & Design
The Cometic MLS head gasket features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and flexibility. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a high-performance fluorocarbon elastomer known for its excellent heat resistance and chemical stability. This coating ensures a tight seal even under extreme temperatures and varying surface finishes.
The gasket’s center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control and the ability to rebound after compression. This multi-layer design effectively manages the differential expansion between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks, preventing leaks and gasket failure over time.
Installation & Fitment
This MLS head gasket is specifically designed for the right-hand side of the 5.7L VVT HEMI engine found in Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2003 to 2008 and 2009 to 2024. It installs without the need for additional sealants, streamlining the assembly process and reducing installation errors. Proper torque specifications and head bolt tightening sequences should be followed to ensure optimal sealing and longevity.

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!
