Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) Gaskets
The best head gaskets for high-performance engines
MLS head gaskets are made from thin spring stainless steel sheets. The outer sheets are coated with a compound to improve sealing and are embossed in critical areas. The sheets are held together on the perimeter by small brass rivets for installation. This multi-layer construction means they are much stronger than conventional composite head gaskets.
MLS gaskets work by exerting an outward force due to their spring nature, so that they take up the slack when your engine's head moves up and down thousands of times per minute under load. If you are running a high-performance engine, you probably already know that a multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket is the only type of gasket likely to meet your engine's requirements.
See additional examples of MLS head gaskets manufactured for customers in our Project Gallery.
No minimum order size
Gaskets-To-Go is quite possibly the only supplier willing and able to make MLS gaskets in quantities of one or more without requiring any set-up or tooling charges and at a reasonable price. If you want a custom MLS from one of the big suppliers you will be looking at tooling costs on the order of around $5,000USD with a minimum order requirement of 70 or more gaskets.
We do offer a substantial price break at 5 MLS gaskets. You can save a significant sum if you can get together with your friends to order 5 or more. Please note that within an order for more than one MLS gasket, we can supply different bore sizes and gasket thicknesses at no extra charge.
How to determine your cost
To provide you with a firm quotation (good for 30 days), all we need is the following:
1. An image of your gasket (a cell phone snap is sufficient)
2. Dimensions (length x width)
3. Thickness you require
4. Quantity you are interested in
We can usually provide you with a quotation within 24 hours.
How to order
To place an order, supply any ONE of the following:
- Drawing or blueprint that we can print out 1:1 (full size)
- New or used gasket (this can be returned if requested)
- Cardboard template
- Scan of your gasket (Read our Scanning Tips)
Industry standard guarantee
Because this type of gasket is used for modified and/or high-performance engines, we can only guarantee that your custom MLS head gasket will fit your engine, based on the drawing, template or gasket you supplied. This is in line with industry practice, due to the huge number of variables involved that are beyond our control.
Properly installed, MLS gaskets are usually bullet-proof. Having said that, it is very important that your engine is prepared for an MLS gasket. Please review our MLS Head Gasket Installation Tips to achieve an optimal outcome.
