Cometic C8850 MLS Head Gasket .030 inch Compressed Thickness

The Cometic C8850 is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket featuring .030 inch compressed thickness for high-performance engine applications. This advanced gasket design provides superior sealing performance for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron engine combinations.

Multi-Layer Steel Construction:

• Multiple embossed layers of stainless steel for exceptional strength and durability
• Outer layers feature Viton rubber-based coating resistant to temperatures up to 482°F (250°C)
• Load-controlled embossments distribute clamping force evenly across the sealing surface
• Reduces bore distortion for improved piston ring seal and power output
• Withstands the shearing forces created between dissimilar materials

Installation Benefits:

• No sealants required when installed on properly prepared surfaces
• No re-torque necessary after initial installation
• Requires less clamp load than conventional gaskets
• Increased resistance to corrosion and rebound capability

Cometic MLS head gaskets are engineered to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes, making them ideal for performance builds, racing applications, and high-output street engines.
