MLS (Multi-Layer
Steel) Head Gaskets
Provide maximum sealing
performance for today's high
output engines and require no
sealants. MLS gaskets are
ideal for both aluminium
heads to aluminium blocks and
aluminium heads to cast iron
blocks. They can withstand
the shearing force created by
the two materials. MLS
gaskets have increased
strength because they are
comprised of multiple layers
of stainless steel; which
also creates the ability to
rebound and resist corrosion.
The outer layers are embossed
and coated on both sides with
Viton (a flouroelastomer
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 center or shim
layer is uncoated stainless
steel, which can be varied to
accommodate multiple
s.
