Cometic C8913-018 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket .018" Thickness 13mm Studs

The Cometic C8913-018 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for engines with 13mm head studs. Featuring a compressed thickness of .018 inch, this gasket is engineered to provide superior sealing under extreme conditions while allowing for precise control of compression ratios.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel construction with multiple layers of stainless steel for exceptional strength and durability
• .018 inch compressed thickness ideal for high-compression builds
• Compatible with 13mm head stud configurations
• Stainless steel construction provides excellent rebound characteristics and corrosion resistance
• Viton rubber coating on outer layers resists temperatures up to 482°F and handles harsh sealing environments
• Load-controlled embossments (LCE) distribute clamping force evenly across the sealing surface
• Reduces bore distortion for improved piston ring seal and increased power
• No sealants or re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces

Cometic MLS gaskets are trusted by performance enthusiasts and professional engine builders worldwide. The thinner .018" profile makes this gasket ideal for increasing engine compression ratio compared to thicker stock gaskets, making it perfect for naturally aspirated performance builds or applications requiring precise compression control.
