The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the CA18DET engine is a universal replacement gasket designed to provide a reliable seal between the cylinder head and engine block. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, excellent rebound properties, and superior corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 2500°C (4820°F). This design ensures durability and effective sealing under demanding conditions, making it suitable for high-performance and rebuild applications. The gasket's multilayer steel construction and specialized coating help maintain optimal compression and prevent leaks, contributing to engine reliability and performance.

This gasket is compatible with 1989-1993 models of vehicles equipped with the CA18DET engine. It is intended for use in applications requiring a high-quality, universal MLS gasket that can withstand harsh sealing environments. The gasket serves as a direct replacement for OEM components in performance builds or rebuilds, ensuring proper fitment and sealing integrity. Installation involves standard procedures for head gasket replacement, and the kit includes the gasket itself. Suitable for street, track, or off-road use, this MLS gasket provides a durable, high-performance sealing solution for enthusiasts seeking reliability and longevity in their engine builds.

Overview

The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of Stainless Steel. Cometic uses Stainless steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound and corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The Viton coating is heat resistant to 2500C or 4820F.

The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated Stainless Steel layer, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks.

The composition of MLS will also withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. No re-torque is necessary. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque load across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
