MLS Head Gasket 05-10 Hemi 6.1L Each

The MLS Head Gasket 05-10 Hemi 6.1L is a precision-engineered replacement gasket designed for serious Dodge and Chrysler muscle car owners who demand reliability and performance from their legendary 6.1-liter Hemi powerplants. This MAHLE ORIGINAL/CLEVITE component addresses the critical seal between cylinder head and block—the foundation of any engine's combustion integrity. Whether you're rebuilding after high-mileage wear, upgrading to higher boost levels, or restoring a Challenger, Charger, or 300C, this gasket delivers the OEM-quality durability that modern Hemi engines require for consistent power delivery.

MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) gasket construction uses precisely stacked steel layers with elastomer facing to create a conformable, resilient seal that adapts to block and head surface finishes while withstanding extreme combustion pressures and temperature cycling. Unlike traditional composite gaskets, MLS design minimizes relaxation over time, making it the ideal choice for turbocharged, supercharged, or nitrous-equipped builds where peak cylinder pressures routinely exceed stock levels. The 55188 specification ensures exact OEM dimensions and bolt hole alignment for the 05-10 Hemi platform, eliminating guesswork during installation and guaranteeing proper coolant flow passages and oil gallery sealing.

This gasket is essential for any Hemi 6.1L head replacement, machine shop rebuild, or engine-out service on 2005–2010 Dodge Charger, Challenger, Magnum, and Jeep Grand Cherokee models, as well as Chrysler 300C applications. Proper installation requires standard head gasket procedures: clean all gasket surfaces to bare metal, use a quality head gasket sealer on both sides, and torque bolts to factory spec in the correct sequence. Trust MAHLE ORIGINAL's engineering pedigree—this gasket carries the same specifications used in OEM Chrysler production, making it the no-compromise choice for restorations and modifications alike.
