Construction & Design:
The Cometic MLS head gasket features a robust multi-layer steel construction that combines strength with flexibility. Each gasket is composed of several layers of stainless steel, with the outermost layers embossed and coated on both sides with Viton rubber. This coating provides excellent resistance to heat, oil, and coolant, ensuring a tight seal even in extreme operating environments.
The embossed design on the outer layers improves the gasket’s ability to conform to the cylinder head and block surfaces, compensating for minor imperfections and enhancing sealing integrity. The uncoated stainless steel center shim provides structural support and can be tailored to specific thickness requirements, allowing for precise engine assembly and optimal compression.
