Cometic Gasket

Cometic Gasket produces precision-machined engine sealing components used by professional engine builders and race teams worldwide. MLS head gaskets, intake gaskets, and complete engine gasket sets from Cometic are engineered to hold seal under the elevated cylinder pressure and heat cycling that OEM gaskets cannot always survive in high-performance applications.Popular UpgradesCometic MLS (multi-layer steel) head gaskets are the most-requested upgrade for turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated builds where cylinder pressure exceeds the limits of OEM composite gaskets. Available in bore sizes and thicknesses calibrated to manage compression ratio, Cometic MLS head gaskets are a standard specification for any serious engine build. Intake manifold gaskets, exhaust gaskets, and cam cover sets round out the range for complete engine assembly work.Why use Cometic MLS head gaskets over OEM?Cometic MLS head gaskets use multiple layers of embossed stainless steel that create a ...

Gasket Kits

Engine gasket kits are essential for any major engine service, rebuild, or head replacement, providing matched sets of gaskets in a single purchase that ensures all sealing surfaces are renewed simultaneously. A proper gasket kit from a quality manufacturer includes the head gasket, intake manifold gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, valve cover gasket, front cover seal, and all accessory gaskets required for a complete engine teardown and reassembly. Using a quality gasket kit rather than individual gaskets sourced from different suppliers ensures consistent material quality across all sealing surfaces and simplifies the parts sourcing process for engine rebuilds. Whether servicing a blown head gasket, completing a bottom-end rebuild, or refreshing a high-mileage engine, a full gasket kit is the most efficient and reliable way to approach the job. Popular Upgrades Fel-Pro full gasket sets are the most popular choice for domestic engine rebuilds, covering GM LS and LT engines, Ford Mod...
