MAHLE performance MLS head gaskets are comprised of 3 stainless steel layers. Sealing beads surround the combustion chamber and coolant passages emphasizing clamp load in these specific areas.
Precision tooling provides optimum bead height, width, profile, and bore concentricity.

• Comprised of multiple embossed layers of FKM (fluoroelastomer coated) and uncoated 301 stainless steel
• Handle any application from naturally aspirated to boost or nitrous
• Embossed outer layers of the gasket meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and sealing surface finishes
• Design requires less clamp load creating less bore distortion and conforms load distribution across the sealing surface
• Center or shim layer is an uncoated stainless steel layer which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements
• No sealants or re-torque required
