Cometic C8387-018 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 0.018 Inch

The Cometic C8387-018 is a multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for additional strength over traditional gaskets. The 0.018-inch compressed thickness design is often used to increase engine compression ratio, making it ideal for performance applications and engine rebuilds.

Key Features:

• Constructed from stainless steel for increased strength, rebound capability, and corrosion resistance
• Outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton rubber material designed to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments
• Load-controlled embossments help conform load distribution across the sealing area, creating an exceptional seal with less clamp load and reduced bore distortion
• No sealants or re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces
• Rubber-binder coating features high-temperature and chemical-resistant polymers

MLS gaskets feature an active combustion seal on multiple layers, providing superior sealing performance for both stock and modified engines. This gasket is designed to withstand the extreme conditions found in high-performance motorcycle and powersports applications.
