For the gearheads and mechanics out there, the Cometic C5809-027 MLS Head Gasket is built tough for high-performance engines. This multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket delivers maximum sealing without needing any extra sealants—just install it and go. It's designed to handle the stress between aluminum heads and aluminum or cast iron blocks, resisting shearing forces and corrosion thanks to its layered stainless steel construction. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant material that stands up to temps over 480°F, while the center shim layer allows for custom thickness options. Whether you're building a race engine or replacing an OEM gasket, this one offers durability, rebound strength, and reliable performance under pressure. Perfect for street, track, or off-road builds where sealing is critical.
