Yeah, except that .041" measurement that is thrown around is for the old composite gasket that was the Mopar Performance/ Victor Reinz 5713. The new MLS that replaced it measures .044" compressed. See last post here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=730&start=30

The gasket does measure.044 but crushed measurement is about .0425 not that it matters, I do believe my supplier and mopar is the same, retail in most states for mopar mls is $72 to $78 at least on the west coast.

Mopar Pefrormance, OEM, Victor Reinz all have their own version of it... all the same. And it crushes to .044"

Not to revive a dead thread but...3 1/2 years later I got my Victor/Reinz MLS gasket at CarQuest for $38. Now the dealer did want $110...

Be warned about doing business with this company. Do research and ask around. Zach is not a reputable business person and is negatively motivated forced to act to resolve issues. Reference my build info for insight on my personal experience, and I was warned by others in this forum.
