Cometic C8479 Copper Head Gasket - 032

The Cometic C8479 is a high-performance copper head gasket with a .032-inch compressed thickness, engineered for demanding engine applications. Cometic gaskets are precision-manufactured from solid copper material, providing excellent thermal conductivity and superior sealing characteristics for high-compression and forced induction engines.

Key Features:

• Pure copper construction for maximum heat dissipation and thermal stability
• .032-inch (0.81mm) compressed thickness for precise compression ratio tuning
• Excellent conformability to deck surface imperfections
• Resists blown gaskets in high-boost and high-compression applications
• Reusable design allows for multiple installations when properly maintained
• Embossed fire rings provide enhanced combustion seal

Cometic copper head gaskets are ideal for racing applications, turbocharged engines, and high-performance builds where precise compression control and reliable sealing are critical. The copper material naturally anneals during heat cycles, conforming to cylinder head and block surfaces for an optimal seal. Note that copper gaskets typically require smooth deck surfaces (30 RA or better) for proper sealing.
