Cometic C4051-018 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 018 Inch

The Cometic C4051-018 is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket featuring a compressed thickness of .018 inches. This precision-engineered gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, providing superior strength, rebound characteristics, and corrosion resistance for demanding engine applications.

Key Features:

• Multi-layer stainless steel construction for maximum durability and strength
• .018 inch compressed thickness for precise compression ratio tuning
• Load-controlled embossments distribute clamping force evenly across the sealing surface
• Outer layers coated with Viton rubber for high-temperature resistance up to 482°F (250°C)
• PTFE topcoat provides enhanced fret resistance and improved cold sealing
• Reduces bore distortion by requiring less clamp load than conventional gaskets
• No sealants or re-torquing required for installation

Cometic MLS head gaskets are ideal for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron applications, effectively handling the shearing forces created between dissimilar materials. The multi-layer design with embossed active sealing layers ensures reliable performance in high-output engines, making this gasket a trusted choice for performance builds and engine rebuilds.
