Cometic C8954 MLS Multi-Layer Steel Head Gasket - 030

The Cometic C8954 is a premium .030" Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket engineered for high-performance and racing engine applications. Cometic's MLS head gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of embossed stainless steel, providing superior sealing performance over traditional composite gaskets — especially in built engines running elevated cylinder pressures and temperatures.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) Construction: Typically three to five layers of embossed stainless steel for consistent, reliable sealing
• .030" Compressed Thickness: Allows precise control over compression ratio during engine builds
• High-Temperature & High-Pressure Resistance: Designed to withstand the demands of forced induction, nitrous, and high-compression naturally aspirated builds
• Precision Laser-Cut Bores: Ensures exact bore sizing for a proper seal on both stock and overbored cylinder applications
• Reusable-Friendly Material: Stainless steel construction is more forgiving during teardowns compared to composite alternatives
• OEM-Style Installation: Installs like a factory gasket with no special sealants required on most applications

Cometic Gasket is a trusted name in performance sealing solutions, manufacturing gaskets to tighter tolerances than OEM specifications. The C8954 is ideal for engine builders seeking a reliable, competition-grade head gasket solution. Always verify proper surface finish (Ra 60 or better recommended for MLS gaskets) before installation.
