The Cometic C8408 is a high-performance copper head gasket designed for engines with displacements ranging from 997cc to 1100cc. Engineered with a .043-inch thickness, this gasket provides excellent sealing capability and heat dissipation for modified and high-performance applications.

Key Features:

• Copper construction for superior thermal conductivity and heat transfer
• .043-inch (1.09mm) compressed thickness for precise deck height management
• Designed for 997cc to 1100cc displacement engines
• Excellent conformability to cylinder head and block surfaces
• Ideal for turbocharged, supercharged, and high-compression builds
• Reusable when properly installed and removed

Cometic copper head gaskets are a popular choice among engine builders and performance enthusiasts due to copper's natural ability to conform under pressure and withstand extreme temperatures. The solid copper construction provides a reliable combustion seal while helping to transfer heat away from critical sealing areas. This gasket requires proper surface preparation with smooth, flat mating surfaces for optimal sealing performance.
