Cometic Cylinder Head Gasket - C8710-018

Achieve uncompromising engine sealing and performance with the Cometic MLS cylinder head gasket. Engineered with advanced multi-layer steel technology, this gasket is designed for maximum durability and an optimal seal, especially for 68.00mm bore applications.

Description

The Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) head gasket is a high-performance engine sealing gasket developed for demanding motorcycle applications. Utilizing advanced materials and precision engineering, this gasket promotes an even torque load across the entire sealing surface thanks to innovative Load Control Embossments (LCE). This design minimizes bore distortion, leading to a better piston ring seal and ultimately, more power for your engine. Crafted with a 68.00mm bore size and a precise 0.46mm (0.018") thickness, it provides a robust and reliable seal.

For specific needs, Single-Layer Steel (SLS) gaskets within the Cometic range feature a durable stainless steel core with embossed outer surfaces. These create a heavy-duty seal between the central steel layer and the mating surfaces of your engine components. The center or shim layer is made from uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet diverse requirements. The outer layers are meticulously embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, ensuring exceptional resistance and performance in a variety of harsh sealing environments, under various load conditions, and across different surface finishes. This commitment to quality and precision makes it an ideal choice for any high-performance build, proudly made in the USA.
