The Cometic MLS head gasket for Chrysler LA V8 with 318A heads (4.040" bore, .040" compressed thickness) is a multi‑layer stainless steel gasket with embossed outer layers coated in Viton. It seals aluminum and cast iron interfaces without sealants, resists corrosion and shear, and uses a center shim layer to meet thickness needs. MLS construction provides rebound and reduced clamp load, improving load distribution across the sealing area.
