Cometic MLS gaskets are the choice of professional engine builders and racers worldwide. The multi-layer design allows the gasket to conform to minor surface imperfections while maintaining exceptional strength and resistance to blow-out. Each layer is precision-stamped from high-grade stainless steel and coated with a proprietary elastomer that creates a micro-seal around combustion chambers, coolant passages, and oil galleries.

This gasket is designed for use with properly prepared deck surfaces (minimum 50 RA finish recommended). Not intended for use with stock or cast iron heads without proper surface preparation.
