Comprised of multiple embossed layers of stainless steel with the outer layers utilizing a Viton rubber coating. Compressed operating thickness is 0.040". 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.

Avoid this handle if you use it
Color: Black, Size: Driver side
Good Product if you don't use it, terrible product if you do use it. The plastic it's made of is too flimsy and gets worse with heat. Installed this product and it only lasted a month and a half before the metal reinforcement plate ripped off the entire plastic handle assembly.

Fitment is decent
Color: Tan, Size: Passenger side
Overall a nice replacement color matched but the fitment was a little loose even though tightened well, where the end comes toward the top of the pillar it is loose and doesn't fit flush
