Forget about MLS vs MLS-D. MLS-D is better and we've made it the same price as MLS. There is no reason not to get a better gasket for less. MLS-D gaskets gaskets have 3 layers. At the bore, the outer 2 gasket layers are folded around the centre to create a super strong fire ring style seal. This is a common feature on diesel gaskets and this is why MLS-D is named this way.
In 2004, we turned our attention to the Ford 4.0L DOHC 6-cylinder "Barra" engine, recognizing the need for robust solutions to address its inherent weaknesses, especially in modified and turbocharged applications.
