Cometic C8887 MLS Multi-Layer Steel Head Gasket - 023

The Cometic C8887 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed with a compressed thickness of .023 inches. This precision-engineered gasket delivers superior sealing performance for high-output engines in demanding applications.

Advanced MLS Construction:

• Multiple embossed layers of stainless steel for exceptional strength and durability
• Outer layers coated with Viton fluoroelastomer material on both sides, heat resistant to 482°F (250°C)
• Uncoated stainless steel center shim layer for precise thickness control
• Load Control Embossments (LCE) promote even torque distribution across the sealing surface

Key Performance Benefits:

• Reduces bore distortion for improved piston ring seal and increased power output
• Ideal for both aluminum-to-cast iron and aluminum-to-aluminum block combinations
• Withstands shearing forces created by dissimilar materials
• Increased corrosion resistance and ability to rebound under extreme conditions
• No retorque necessary and requires no additional sealants

Proudly manufactured in the USA with American-made materials, Cometic gaskets are engineered to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes. The .023" compressed thickness makes this gasket suitable for specific compression ratio requirements and deck height configurations.
