How to Tell if you Have a DEFECTIVE Commetic MLS Gasket

[posplayr]

See attached picture of the defective Cometic MLS gaskets that are provided in many of the Weisco 1166 kits.

The embossing around the oil ports are reversed. (high to low pressure and visa versa)

Wow! that's pretty bad. What other options are out there for the 1166? Can you still use OEM?

[posplayr]

3 options:

1.) try out the new and improved MLS
2.) Old standby Composit Cometic gasket (see attched picture and the following post)
3.) Trim an 1150 gasket to fit.

I've had good luck with the Cometic composite
Not so much with the MLS

Shut it down! It's ****ing oil
Not a good day

That is because the cylinder decking was not pretty enough.
