Cometic C8712-018 MLS Head Gasket .018 Inch Compressed Thickness

The Cometic C8712-018 is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket engineered with .018 inch compressed thickness for precision engine sealing. Constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, this gasket delivers superior strength and durability compared to traditional head gaskets.

Key Features:

• Load-controlled embossments help conform load distribution across the sealing area, reducing bore distortion for improved piston ring seal
• Outer layers embossed and coated with Viton rubber material for excellent heat and chemical resistance
• Stainless steel construction provides increased strength, rebound capability, and corrosion resistance
• .018 inch compressed thickness for applications requiring precise deck height control
• No sealants or re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces

Cometic's MLS technology utilizes an active combustion seal on multiple layers to withstand extreme cylinder pressures and temperatures. The Viton coating resists temperatures up to 482°F while maintaining an exceptional seal across varying surface finishes and load conditions. Ideal for performance and racing applications where reliability under extreme conditions is critical.
