.045in.
Cylinder Head Gasket; 97mm Gasket Bore; comprised of multiple layers of embossed stainless steel with a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers.
The compressed operating thickness is 0.045".
Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gaskets provide maximum sealing performance for high output engines today and require no sealants.
MLS gaskets are ideal for aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks.
They can withstand the shearing force created by the two materials.
Increased strength is a feature of MLS gaskets because they are comprised of multiple layers of stainless steel; this also creates the ability to rebound and resist corrosion.
The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton (a fluor elastomer rubber based material that is heat resistant to 250 C/482 F).
Viton is designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes.
The shim layer or center is uncoated stainless steel, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements.
