| Cometic multi-layer steel (MLS) headgaskets for the Lancer Evolution are comprised of three layers of stainless steel. Cometic uses stainless steel for increased strength, it's ability to rebound, and improved corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a veriety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. Cometic's Viton coating is heat resistant to 250 degrees celcius or 482 degrees farenheit. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
