Construction & Design:
The Cometic MLS Cylinder Head Gasket is meticulously engineered using multiple layers of high-grade stainless steel. The embossed outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a premium fluorocarbon elastomer known for its exceptional heat resistance and chemical stability. This coating ensures a tight seal even under high thermal and mechanical stress.
The gasket’s multi-layer construction provides the necessary flexibility to accommodate the differential expansion rates between aluminum cylinder heads and cast iron or aluminum engine blocks. This design minimizes the risk of gasket failure due to shearing forces, maintaining a consistent seal throughout the engine’s operating range.
Installation & Fitment:
This gasket is designed as a direct replacement for a broad range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram models from 2003 through 2015. It fits engines such as the Chrysler 5.7L Gen-3 Hemi with a 4.100-inch bore on the right-hand side (RHS) of the engine. Installation requires standard head gasket replacement procedures and does not necessitate any modifications or additional sealants, making it suitable for professional and experienced DIY installers.
Always ensure proper torque specifications and surface preparation during installation to maximize gasket performance and longevity.
