Key Features
Cometic’s MLS Head Gasket combines advanced materials and design to meet the rigorous demands of modern engines. Key features include:
- Multi-layer steel construction for increased strength and durability
- Embossed outer layers coated with Viton rubber for superior heat and chemical resistance
- Compressed operating thickness of 0.036" for precise sealing
- Compatible with aluminum heads to aluminum or cast iron blocks
- Resists corrosion and shearing forces caused by dissimilar metal expansion
- No sealants required, simplifying installation and ensuring consistent performance
- Designed to withstand temperatures up to 250°C (482°F)
- Center shim layer of uncoated stainless steel for customizable thickness and strength
Construction & Design
The gasket is constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and flexibility. The outer layers feature a Viton rubber coating, a high-performance elastomer known for its resistance to heat, oils, and chemicals, making it ideal for harsh sealing environments. This coating enhances the gasket’s ability to maintain a tight seal under varying load conditions and surface finishes.
The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness adjustments to meet specific engine requirements. This multi-layer design enables the gasket to rebound and maintain sealing integrity despite thermal cycling and mechanical stresses common in high-performance engines.
Installation & Fitment
This MLS head gasket is designed for direct fitment on Dodge Ram 1500 models equipped with the 5.7L VVT HEMI engine from 2003 to 2008 and 2009 to 2024. Installation requires standard head gasket replacement procedures and does not necessitate any modifications or additional sealants. Its precise engineering ensures a reliable seal, reducing the risk of leaks and improving engine 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!
