Cometic C14168-052 Mitsubishi MLS Cylinder Head Gasket Bore - 4G63T 87mm

The Cometic C14168-052 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered specifically for the Mitsubishi 4G63T DOHC engine found in the Lancer Evolution IX. This gasket features a compressed thickness of .052 inches and an 87mm bore diameter to provide superior sealing and durability in high-boost turbocharged applications.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLX) construction for maximum strength and reliability
• Compressed thickness: .052 inches (1.32mm) for optimal compression ratio tuning
• 87mm bore diameter designed for stock and mildly overbored applications
• Engineered specifically for Mitsubishi 4G63T DOHC engines
• Compatible with Lancer Evolution IX (Evo 9) applications
• Superior heat resistance and combustion sealing compared to composite gaskets

Cometic's MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with a Viton rubber coating that provides excellent sealing characteristics while allowing for minor imperfections in deck surface finish. The .052-inch thickness makes this gasket ideal for performance builds requiring precise compression ratio control, particularly in turbocharged engines running elevated boost levels. This gasket is designed to withstand the extreme cylinder pressures and temperatures common in modified 4G63T engines.
