Cometic C8274-018 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket 72mm Bore .018 Inch Thick

The Cometic C8274-018 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for powersports applications. This precision-engineered gasket features a compressed thickness of .018 inches and a 72mm bore diameter, making it ideal for performance builds and engine rebuilds where compression control is critical.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel construction with 2 layers of stainless steel for superior strength and durability
• Load Control Embossments (LCE) promote even torque distribution across the sealing surface
• Outer layers embossed and coated with Viton rubber on both sides for exceptional sealing
• Heat resistant to 250°C (482°F) for extreme temperature environments
• Reduces bore distortion and improves piston ring seal for increased power output
• No sealants or re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces
• 72mm round bore diameter with .018 inch compressed thickness
• Made in the USA

Cometic's MLS gasket technology utilizes stainless steel for its increased strength, ability to rebound, and resistance to corrosion. The Viton coating is specifically designed to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments, varied load conditions, and different surface finishes. This gasket construction can withstand the shearing forces created between dissimilar materials, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron applications.
