Cometic H2089SP2080S MLS Head Gasket Compressed Thickness - 0.080

The Cometic H2089SP2080S is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered for high-performance engine applications. Designed to meet the demanding sealing requirements of modified and race engines, this gasket provides superior durability and reliability under extreme temperatures and pressures.

Multi-Layer Steel Construction:

• Three-layer stainless steel design for maximum strength and rebound characteristics
• Outer layers embossed and coated with Viton fluoroelastomer rubber on both sides
• Viton coating withstands temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) for exceptional heat resistance
• Center shim layer of uncoated stainless steel provides structural integrity
• Compressed thickness of 0.080 inches for precise compression ratio tuning

Performance Benefits:

• Excellent corrosion resistance protects against coolant and oil exposure
• Accommodates aluminum heads on cast iron blocks or aluminum-to-aluminum applications
• Withstands shearing forces from thermal expansion differences between dissimilar metals
• Promotes even torque distribution across sealing surface to minimize bore distortion
• No re-torque required after installation
• Superior sealing in harsh environments with varying load conditions and surface finishes

Cometic MLS head gaskets are the preferred choice of engine builders and performance enthusiasts who demand reliable sealing for street performance, racing, and extreme duty applications.
