Cometic C8962 Multi-Layer Steel Head Gasket - Pair 027 Inch

The Cometic C8962 Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket pair delivers professional-grade sealing performance for high-output engine builds. Each gasket features a .027 inch compressed thickness, making it ideal for applications requiring precise compression control and clearance specifications.

Advanced MLS Construction:

• Multiple layers of stainless spring steel for superior strength and durability
• Viton-coated embossed outer layers provide exceptional rebound characteristics and corrosion resistance
• Stainless steel center layer sandwiched between coated outer layers
• .001 inch thick Viton rubber coating bonded to outer layers eliminates need for additional sealants
• Load-controlled embossments ensure optimal load distribution across sealing surfaces

Installation Requirements:

• Requires smooth, flat head and deck surfaces with 50 RA surface finish or finer
• Install dry - no additional sealant required or recommended
• Not compatible with O-ring or receiver groove setups
• No re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces

Cometic MLS head gaskets are engineered to withstand extreme combustion pressures and shearing forces while requiring less clamping load than traditional gaskets, resulting in reduced bore distortion. Sold as a pair for complete cylinder head sealing.
