Key Features:

• Multi-layer steel construction for exceptional strength and durability
• .018" compressed thickness for precision compression control
• Viton-coated embossed outer layers resist high temperatures and chemicals
• Load-controlled embossments (LCE) promote even torque distribution across sealing surface
• Reduces bore distortion for improved piston ring seal and increased power
• Non-intrusive rivets secure layers together
• No gasket sealant or re-torque required when properly installed

Cometic MLS gaskets are designed to withstand the extreme shearing forces in demanding motorsports applications. The advanced embossment technology requires less clamp load while delivering an exceptional seal, making this gasket ideal for performance and racing engines.
