Cometic C8704-027 MLS Head Gasket Compressed Thickness - 027

The Cometic C8704-027 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket featuring .027 inch compressed thickness, engineered to provide superior sealing under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. This precision-manufactured gasket is built using Cometic's advanced gasket technology designed to match the demanding performance requirements of modern high-output engines.

Multi-Layer Steel Construction:

• Multiple embossed layers of stainless steel provide exceptional strength and durability
• Active combustion seal on multiple layers ensures reliable sealing under high cylinder pressures
• Load-controlled embossments distribute clamping force evenly across sealing surfaces
• Proprietary high-temperature coating resists extreme heat and chemical exposure

Advanced Sealing Technology:

• .027 inch compressed thickness for precise quench distance and compression tuning
• FKM (Viton) rubber coating on outer layers resists high temperatures and chemicals
• PTFE topcoat provides fret resistance and enhanced cold sealing performance
• Embossed design creates micro-seal against head and block surfaces for fluids
• Requires less clamp load than conventional gaskets, reducing bore distortion

Installation Benefits:

• No sealants required for proper installation
• No re-torque necessary after initial installation
• Designed for performance applications from street to racing environments
• Precision-engineered for reliable sealing in harsh operating conditions

Cometic gaskets are trusted by professional engine builders and racers worldwide, proven on NHRA, IHRA, and NASCAR tracks. The .027 inch thickness makes this gasket ideal for applications requiring precise compression ratio tuning or optimal piston-to-head quench distance in performance builds.
