Cometic C8224 Copper Head Gasket - 043

The Cometic C8224 is a high-performance copper head gasket with a .043" (43 thousandths) compressed thickness. Constructed from solid copper material, this gasket provides excellent thermal conductivity and conformability to sealing surfaces, making it ideal for high-compression and forced induction applications.

Key Features:

• Solid copper construction for superior heat dissipation
• .043" compressed thickness for precise compression ratio tuning
• Excellent conformability to deck surfaces and combustion chambers
• Reusable with proper surface preparation and annealing
• Ideal for racing, turbo, and supercharged applications
• Requires O-ringing or receiver grooves for proper sealing

Cometic copper head gaskets are designed for serious performance applications where precise compression control and maximum sealing reliability are required. The copper material conforms to imperfections in sealing surfaces better than composite gaskets, while efficiently transferring combustion heat away from critical areas.
