MLS Technology Benefits

Cometic's Multi-Layer Steel gaskets utilize multiple layers of stainless steel with specialized coatings to provide superior sealing under extreme conditions. The MLS design accommodates thermal expansion and cylinder head movement better than traditional composite gaskets, making it ideal for both street and performance applications. The embossed layers create a spring-like effect that maintains constant pressure on the sealing surface throughout the engine's operating range.

Application Notes

This gasket is designed for EA888 engines without the Active Valve System port configuration. The .036-inch thickness is suitable for stock deck heights and mild performance builds. Proper surface preparation and torque specifications are critical for optimal performance—cylinder head and block surfaces should be clean, flat, and free of imperfections.
