Anyone here used or have any feedback on Cometic MLX head gaskets? Just found out they make one for Holden 6's.
I'm talking MLX here, not MLS as I know they have been done to death.

They are actually called multi layer stopper gaskets, so I have no idea where the X comes from.

Something I found on the Rocket Industries web site to answer your question.

 

Cometic calls theirs the MLX (Multi layer stopper) gasket. The MLX gasket is the extreme version, meaning it will hold up to applications using boost, nitrous or turbocharging.

Guys, cheers but I know what they both are.
Looking to hear feedback from anyone that may have actually used an MLX version.

I've used MLX in boosted V8's - very good gaskets.

Haven't used a 6 cylinder one yet, but can't see that they won't be the best gasket you can buy for a boosted 6.

Are they reusable like the copper gaskets?
