Cometic C8718 MLS Head Gasket 0.027 Inch Compressed Thickness

The Cometic C8718 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket engineered with a compressed thickness of 0.027 inches. Designed for demanding engine applications, this gasket delivers exceptional sealing performance without requiring additional sealants or re-torque procedures.

Advanced MLS Construction:

• Multiple embossed layers of stainless steel provide superior strength and rebound characteristics
• Outer layers coated with Viton (fluoroelastomer) for heat resistance up to 482°F (250°C)
• Load-controlled embossments distribute clamping force evenly across the sealing surface
• Minimizes bore distortion for improved piston ring seal and power output

Key Benefits:

• Ideal for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron applications
• Withstands shearing forces created by dissimilar materials
• Excellent corrosion resistance from stainless steel construction
• No sealants required for installation
• No re-torque needed after initial installation

Cometic gaskets are manufactured in the United States using American-sourced materials and represent the pinnacle of gasket technology for automotive, powersports, and performance applications.
