Cometic C8681 MLS Head Gasket 78mm Bore 0.027" Thickness Kawasaki

The Cometic C8681 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered for Kawasaki powersports applications. This precision gasket features a 78mm bore diameter and 0.027-inch compressed thickness, designed to deliver superior sealing performance under extreme conditions.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Stainless Steel construction for maximum strength and durability
• 78mm bore diameter provides precise fit for specific Kawasaki engines
• 0.027" compressed thickness allows for proper compression ratio control
• Load-controlled embossments distribute clamping force evenly across the sealing surface
• Outer layers feature Viton coating for enhanced sealing in harsh environments
• Reduces bore distortion compared to conventional gaskets
• Installs dry - no additional sealant required thanks to bonded Viton coating

Cometic MLS gaskets are comprised of multiple embossed layers of proprietary high-temperature coated and uncoated stainless steel. This advanced design requires less clamp load while creating less bore distortion, resulting in improved piston ring seal and increased power output. The embossed layers conform to load distribution across the sealing area, meeting the demands of various harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes. Proven under the most demanding racing and performance conditions.
