Compressed operating thickness is 0.051\". Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gaskets provide maximum sealing performance for todays high output engines and require no sealants. MLS gaskets are ideal for both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum 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 flour elastomer 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 thickness requirements.\nHonda B16A2\/B16A3\/B17A1\/B18C1\/B18C5 .051in.

The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant fluoroelastomer designed to perform across demanding sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes. The uncoated stainless steel center layer provides the structural support needed for consistent gasket performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MLS design conforms load distribution across the sealing area and requires less clamp load, which can help reduce bore distortion. It is suitable for combinations using aluminum cylinder heads with aluminum or cast iron engine blocks, helping accommodate the shearing forces created by differing materials. The gasket requires no additional sealant when installed according to the engine manufacturer's specifications and proper surface preparation procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart number C4231-051 is intended for applications requiring an 81mm bore and 0.051-inch compressed thickness.
