3.6L MLS Head Gasket with Bolts for Chrysler 200 300 Ram Dodge Jeep 2011 2016

Product Overview

The 3.6L MLS Head Gasket Set with Bolts restores combustion chamber integrity on Pentastar engines experiencing coolant loss, overheating, or compression leaks. This 3.6L MLS head gasket set supplies multi-layer steel gaskets and one-time-use torque-to-yield head bolts, giving professional technicians and engine builders everything needed for a complete cylinder head reseal. Designed for the 2011-2016 model years, this kit eliminates the guesswork of sourcing individual MLS head gasket components and bolt sets separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the cylinder head bolts in this 3.6L MLS Head Gasket set reusable? A: No. The included fasteners are torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts designed to permanently stretch upon installation. They must always be replaced with new bolts during a head gasket job to maintain proper clamp load.

Q: Does this MLS head gasket set also fit the 2017 and newer Pentastar upgrade engine? A: This kit is specifically engineered for the 2011-2016 casting. Later model years received updates to the cooling passage layout and piston oil squirter block design, so always confirm your engine serial number and casting date before installation.

Product appearance and specifications may vary slightly by batch. Compatibility may vary by serial number. Verify fitment before purchase.
