Cometic C9053G AFM Cam Cover Gasket

The Cometic C9053G is a cam cover gasket built from Cometic's proprietary Aluminum Foamette Material (AFM) — a chemically blown, compounded nitrile synthetic rubber bonded to an aluminum core. This construction delivers reliable, leak-free sealing with a temperature resistance exceeding 250°F, making it well-suited for both street and performance engine builds.

Unlike standard paper or cork OEM gaskets, the AFM aluminum core prevents the gasket from weeping or creeping out of position on engine cases with limited sealing surfaces. The material achieves an 85% compression recovery, maintaining strong torque retention over time without requiring re-torquing after installation.

Key Features:

• AFM Construction: Chemically blown nitrile synthetic rubber bonded to an aluminum core for superior strength and conformability
• No Gasket Sealer Required: AFM material seals effectively without silicone bead or additional sealants
• High Temperature Resistance: Rated for operating temperatures exceeding 250°F
• 85% Compression Recovery: Maintains a lasting seal with strong torque retention — no re-torquing needed
• Easy Removal: AFM does not bond or stick to engine cases, eliminating the need to scrape stubborn residue during future service
• Precision Cut: Manufactured to exact OEM dimensions for proper fitment and a drop-in installation
• Made in the U.S.A.: Produced by Cometic Gasket, a trusted OEM and aftermarket supplier since 1992
