Construction & Design
The Cometic MLS head gasket is constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and flexibility. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a high-performance fluoroelastomer rubber known for its excellent heat resistance and sealing capabilities. This coating ensures the gasket maintains a tight seal even under harsh thermal and mechanical stresses.
The center shim layer is made from uncoated stainless steel, which allows for precise thickness adjustments to meet specific engine requirements. This multi-layer design not only enhances the gasket’s ability to rebound under pressure but also resists corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in demanding environments.
Installation & Fitment
This MLS head gasket is designed for direct fitment on 2005–2010 Dodge 6.1L HEMI engines with iron blocks. Installation requires standard head gasket replacement procedures and does not necessitate any modifications or additional sealants. Its precise thickness and durable construction ensure a reliable seal that maintains engine compression and prevents coolant or oil leaks.
For best results, ensure the mating surfaces are clean and flat before installation. Proper torque specifications should be followed to maximize gasket performance 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!
