Cometic MLS cylinder head gaskets are engineered to provide superior sealing capabilities for high-performance engines, making them an excellent choice for enthusiasts looking to optimise their vehicle's power output.
- These multi-layered steel gaskets offer a number of benefits over traditional OEM options:
- Superior Sealing Performance: Cometic MLS gaskets are designed with multiple layers of stainless steel, embossed outer layers and a heat resistant Viton coating. This combination ensures maximum sealing efficiency, preventing combustion pressures from escaping through the head gasket.
- No Additional Sealants or Retorquing Needed: Unlike conventional gaskets that require additional sealants and re-torquing procedures, Cometic MLS gaskets are self-aligning, which eliminates the need for extra steps in your engine installation process.
- Ideal for Tuned Engines: With their ability to withstand higher compression or boost levels, these gaskets are perfect for engines that have been modified or upgraded. They offer a more reliable sealing solution than OEM gaskets and can handle the increased pressures resulting from modifications.
- Various Thicknesses Available: Cometic offers different thickness options to cater to various engine configurations, enabling users to fine-tune their compression ratio. This flexibility makes MLS gaskets an adaptable choice for a wide range of applications.
- High Heat and Load Resistance: With a maximum operating temperature of 250 degrees Celsius, these gaskets can handle high heat conditions typically found in performance engines. Their robust construction allows them to withstand the mechanical stresses encountered during engine operation.
- Corrosion Resistant: The Viton coating and stainless steel construction make Cometic MLS head gaskets resistant to corrosion, ensuring their longevity under demanding conditions.
- MLX Option for Highly Tuned Engines: For engines requiring even higher clamping loads, Cometic offers an MLX gasket option. These gaskets include an additional 'stopper' layer that creates a sealing ring around the combustion chamber. This design increases clamping force without causing excessive bore distortion.
