Today's lightweight engines are producing more horsepower, higher cylinder pressures, clamp loads and extreme temperatures. Our commitment is to provide innovative, quality gaskets while maximizing your engine's power and performance. Cometic's gaskets are proudly made in the USA with materials manufactured on American soil. We are constantly updating and adding models to our ever growing library of gaskets for Powersports, Street Bikes, Snowmobiles, Harley-Davidson and V-Twin applications.

The leak stops here! Cometic MLX head gaskets feature a unique integrated "stopper" layer for optimum combustion chamber sealing and improved clamp load around the cylinder without increasing bore distortion. The MLX head gaskets, like their MLS counterparts, are multi-layer stainless steel for increased strength—and require no sealants or re-torquing. Dozens of models are available; order the MLX head gaskets designed to maximize your engine's power and performance.

Please note that this information serves as a fitment guide only. For specific fitment questions or clarifications, please contact us, as manufacturers may introduce variations and modifications during model year or regional revisions. While we strive to provide accurate data, fitment details may vary by region; therefore, compatibility outside the listed region and submodel variant cannot be guaranteed.
