Cometic C8734-045 MLS Head Gasket Bore Suzuki - 87mm 045 GS1100

The Cometic C8734-045 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket engineered specifically for Suzuki GS1100 motorcycles with an 87mm cylinder bore. This premium gasket features a compressed thickness of .045 inches and is designed for use with 6mm dowel pin configurations.

Multi-Layer Steel Construction:

Cometic MLS head gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, providing superior strength and durability compared to traditional composite gaskets. The design incorporates load-controlled embossments (LCE) that promote even torque distribution across the sealing surface, reducing bore distortion and improving piston ring seal for enhanced performance and compression.

Key Features:

• 87mm bore diameter designed for Suzuki GS1100 engines
• .045 inch compressed thickness for precise compression control
• Multi-layer stainless steel construction with Viton coating on outer layers
• Load-controlled embossments for optimal sealing and reduced clamping force requirements
• Compatible with 6mm dowel pin applications
• No sealants or re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces
• Suitable for naturally aspirated, boosted, or nitrous applications

Cometic gaskets utilize a rubber-binder coating featuring high-temperature and chemical-resistant polymers on the stainless steel outer layers, ensuring reliable sealing under extreme conditions. The MLS design can withstand the shearing forces created in demanding engine environments, making this gasket ideal for both street and performance applications.
