Product Details

The Cometic C8697-018 is a high-performance multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket engineered for demanding powersports applications. This precision-manufactured gasket features a 70mm bore diameter and 0.018 inch compressed thickness, delivering exceptional sealing performance under extreme conditions.

Advanced MLS Construction:

  • Multi-layer stainless steel design with three to five layers for superior strength and durability
  • Viton-coated outer layers provide heat resistance up to 482°F and chemical resistance
  • Embossed outer layers with load-controlled embossments (LCE) for optimal torque distribution
  • Stainless steel center layer offers increased rebound characteristics and corrosion resistance
  • Non-intrusive rivets secure the layers while maintaining gasket integrity

Performance Benefits:

  • Reduces bore distortion for improved piston ring seal and increased power output
  • Creates exceptional seal with less clamp load compared to traditional gaskets
  • No sealants or re-torque required when properly installed on prepared surfaces
  • Proven reliability under the most demanding racing and performance conditions

Sold individually. Cometic gaskets are trusted by professionals worldwide for high-performance engines and OE replacement applications.

Was bothered about the shipment coming with a lot of damage to the box and it had foot prints all over it. I reached out with concern and was told I could return it but will be charged to restock/service. This is uncool considering the condition it arrived in from the warehouse or etc.

Quick and easy

Pleasurable shopping experience

I probably just got lucky. I ordered a fuel filter for a sprinter. After I received and installed it I realized there are a couple different types. Thankfully TH Motorsports sent me the exact part I needed! That never happens to me.
