Cometic C8699-018 MLS Head Gasket - 018 Inch

The Cometic C8699-018 is a precision-engineered Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed to deliver superior sealing performance in demanding powersports applications. Featuring a compressed thickness of .018 inches, this gasket is ideal for builds requiring increased compression ratios and enhanced engine performance.

Multi-Layer Steel Construction:

• Built with multiple layers of stainless steel for exceptional strength and durability
• Embossed outer layers with Viton rubber coating on both sides for superior sealing
• Load-controlled embossments (LCE) distribute clamping force evenly across the sealing surface
• Reduces bore distortion for improved piston ring seal and increased power output
• Stainless steel core provides excellent rebound characteristics and corrosion resistance

Performance Features:

• Viton coating withstands extreme temperatures up to 482°F (250°C)
• Resists harsh sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes
• Non-intrusive rivets secure the layers without compromising seal integrity
• No sealants or re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces
• .018 inch compressed thickness increases compression ratio for performance applications

Cometic MLS gaskets represent the pinnacle of head gasket technology, providing the reliability and performance required by professional engine builders and performance enthusiasts. Proper surface preparation and correct installation procedures are essential for optimal performance.
