If there is a large amount of oil on the sides of the engine or if you can smell burning oil, chances are it's a bad valve cover gasket. The gasket fails and allows oil to seep down onto the side of the engine and other parts causing a mess and reducing the amount of oil in your engine. This replacement gasket from Elring is perfect to prevent any further oil leaks.

Includes everything needed to re-seal your engine's head.

Discover the Cometic MLS Multi-Layer Steel Gasket

Experience excellence with one of the market's premier multi-layer-steel (MLS) gaskets. This gasket is engineered for long-lasting performance, making it a top choice for high-performance and stock replacement applications. With a thickness of .070" and an 87mm cylinder bore, it offers outstanding durability. What sets Cometic MLS gaskets apart is their ability to be installed dry, thanks to the sealant that forms a bond with dry surfaces.

MLS, which stands for Multi-Layer Steel, is comprised of three layers of stainless steel. The outer layers feature an embossed Viton-coated stainless steel that not only provides an exceptional seal but also exhibits excellent rebound characteristics and resistance to corrosion. These MLS head gaskets effectively reduce bore distortion and can withstand extreme cylinder pressures.

This set of gaskets is a both a time and money saver. It includes all of the commonly replaced gaskets, seals, and o-rings when performing this overhaul. Having these on hand instead of chasing them down at the last minute will save you time, money, and frustration. With this area of the engine apart you're going to want or need to replace these items anyway to ensure it's free of fluid and vacuum leaks. This is especially important because some states have very strict emissions regulations and vacuum and oil leaks can lead to failed inspections tests. On newer cars this can also create issues in the on-board diagnostics system. Even if you're not pulling the head this set includes so many valuable parts you'll want to keep this on hand to use for spares.
If you drive a European vehicle, chances are high your vehicle came equipped with one or more Victor Reinz gaskets. Choose OE quality VR gaskets and seals and do the job right the first time.
