Key Features

Our MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) head gasket features several technical advancements that set it apart from traditional gasket materials. The stainless steel layers provide increased strength and flexibility, allowing the gasket to rebound and maintain a proper seal even under thermal expansion and engine vibrations. This design helps support increased horsepower and boost levels, making it suitable for both stock and modified engines.

  • Constructed with multiple layers of high-quality stainless steel for durability and resilience.
  • Embossed outer layers coated with Viton, a fluoroeastomer rubber-based material, for enhanced sealing and corrosion resistance.
  • Viton coating is heat resistant up to 250°C (482°F), ensuring reliable performance in high-temperature environments.
  • Designed to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes.
  • Optimized for Acura and Honda models with 83mm bore engines, providing a precise fit and seal.
  • Helps prevent coolant and oil leaks, maintaining engine integrity and performance.
  • Suitable for both stock applications and high-performance builds requiring a reliable MLS gasket.

Construction & Design

This MLS head gasket features a multi-layer steel construction, which offers superior strength and flexibility compared to traditional composite gaskets.
