These coatings provide a micro-seal for fluids against the head and block surface. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe layers of the MLX gasket act as a spring, protecting against blowout and increasing active seal height by compensating for increased head lift. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMLX Head Gaskets are different from MLS because they feature an extra,specialized 'stopper' fold-over layer.
