Cometic C8733-045 .045" MLS Head Gasket 86mm Bore D Dowel Pin Suzuki GS1100 GS1150

The Cometic C8733-045 is a multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for superior strength and durability over traditional head gasket designs. This three-layer gasket utilizes stainless steel for increased strength, rebound ability, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for performance and racing applications on Suzuki GS1100 and GS1150 motorcycles.

Key Features:

• Outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton fluoroelastomer rubber designed to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes
• Center shim layer comprised of uncoated stainless steel which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements
• .045" compressed thickness for optimal piston-to-head clearance
• 86mm bore diameter for specific displacement applications
• D Dowel Pin configuration for proper head alignment
• Load-controlled embossments help distribute load evenly across the sealing area, requiring less clamp load and resulting in less bore distortion
• Ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks, withstanding shearing forces created by dissimilar materials
• No sealants or re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces

Cometic MLS gaskets provide exceptional sealing performance for naturally aspirated, turbocharged, supercharged, and nitrous applications. The advanced multi-layer design promotes even torque distribution and reduced bore distortion for improved piston ring seal and increased power output.
