No idea which one the MLS one is, but i have tried a few different ones, and the only one that worked well is the 'race' gasket; stainless steel, with multiple fibre layers.

I cant tell you much more about it as i did that one quite a while ago, proof that it works far better...

installed new MLS gasket and 'beefed up' oil rail. all seems to be going o.k. so far.

when removed noticed that the old oil rail was cracked at every threaded head bolt hole, worth changing even if you dont try the new gasket, adds an extra hour to the head gasket replacement task.

if i have to pull the head again, will probably quiz you a bit about the 'racing' gasket
