Cometic C8858 MLS Head Gasket Pair .030" Compressed Thickness

The Cometic C8858 is a pair of Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets featuring .030" compressed thickness, designed for high-compression engine applications. These professional-grade gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel with embossed, Viton-coated outer layers that create superior sealing performance under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel construction with stainless steel center core for exceptional strength and durability
• .030" compressed thickness for high-compression applications
• Embossed outer layers with Viton coating for superior chemical and heat resistance
• Load Control Embossments (LCE) distribute torque load evenly across sealing surface
• Reduces bore distortion for improved piston ring seal and power output
• No sealants or re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces
• Sold as a pair for complete engine installation

Cometic MLS gaskets are ideal for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block applications. The advanced multi-layer design withstands the shearing forces created in high-performance engine environments while maintaining a reliable seal. Before installation of .030" gaskets, verify proper piston-to-head clearance (.030"-.032" optimum) to ensure compatibility with your engine build.
