Cometic MLS (Multi-LayerSteel) Head Gaskets providemaximum sealing performancefor today's high outputengines and require nosealants. MLS gaskets areideal for both aluminum headsto aluminum blocks andaluminum heads to cast ironblocks. They can withstand theshearing force created by thetwo materials. MLS gasketshave increased strengthbecause they are comprised ofmultiple layers of stainlesssteel; which also creates theability to rebound and resistcorrosion.
