4.7L V8 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket 0.051"

The Cometic C5213-051 is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket engineered to provide superior sealing for high-output 4.7L V8 Dodge Powertech engines, covering model years 1999-2007. Constructed with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, this gasket incorporates a heat-resistant Viton rubber coating on its outer layers, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). The compressed operating thickness is precisely 0.051 inches, with a 93mm bore size. This MLS design offers increased strength, rebound capability, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for engines utilizing aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can effectively handle the shearing forces between dissimilar materials. These gaskets are manufactured in the United States. The head gasket's critical function is to prevent the intermingling of combustion gasses, oil, and coolant, thereby protecting the engine's cooling system from potential damage, especially when increasing horsepower. Cometic emphasizes that their MLS gaskets require no additional sealants for optimal performance.
