Cometic H1796SP6051S MLS Cylinder Head Gasket

The Cometic H1796SP6051S is a multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered for high-performance engine applications. Designed to deliver superior sealing under extreme conditions, this gasket provides the durability and precision required for both street and racing engines.

Multi-Layer Steel Construction:

This gasket features a three-layer design constructed from high-grade stainless steel. The outer layers are embossed and coated with a Viton fluoroelastomer rubber-based material on both sides, providing exceptional sealing performance across varying surface finishes and load conditions. The Viton coating withstands temperatures up to 250°C (482°F), ensuring reliable performance in harsh thermal environments.

The center shim layer consists of uncoated stainless steel, which can be manufactured in various thicknesses to meet specific compression ratio requirements. This innovative design effectively handles the shearing forces generated between dissimilar materials, making it ideal for aluminum heads on cast iron blocks as well as aluminum-to-aluminum applications.

Key Features:

• Three-layer stainless steel construction for superior strength and durability
• Viton-coated outer layers provide excellent chemical and heat resistance
• No re-torque required after installation
• Promotes even torque distribution across the sealing surface
• Reduces bore distortion for improved cylinder sealing
• Superior rebound characteristics maintain sealing integrity
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction
• Compatible with aluminum and cast iron engine blocks

Cometic's MLS gasket technology delivers the performance and reliability demanded by engine builders and enthusiasts who require precise sealing solutions for their custom engine builds.
