Cometic MLS Head Gasket 87.5mm Bore .040in Thick for Select 1995-1999 Chrysler, Dodge, and Mitsubishi (2.4L) C5497-040

Fits select 1995-1999 Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger/Neon, Eagle Talon, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Plymouth Neon models (2.4L).

Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gaskets are engineered to provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines without the need for additional sealants. This gasket features multiple layers of embossed stainless steel, designed to rebound and resist corrosion while handling the shearing forces common between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks. The outer layers are coated with a Viton fluor elastomer rubber, providing heat resistance up to 250°C (482°F) to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and varied surface finishes.

The multi-layer design ensures uniform load distribution across the sealing area, requiring less clamp load which results in significantly reduced bore distortion. This technical construction makes the Cometic MLS series an essential upgrade for maintaining engine integrity under increased stress.
