What does MLS construction mean for this head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This means the gasket is built from several layers of stainless steel, each with a specialized coating. This construction makes it very strong and able to seal well, even in high-pressure and high-temperature engine environments.

What is the significance of the .018 inch thickness?

The .018 inch thickness is a standard measurement for this gasket. It's designed to work with the original engine specifications to maintain the correct compression ratio when installed.

Does this head gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. It does not include installation hardware such as head bolts or studs. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for any additional parts or procedures required for installation.

About this part

Product Details

This is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic, specifically made for the 2000-2002 Kawasaki ZX-6R. It has a 70mm bore and a thickness of .018 inches. MLS gaskets are known for their strength and ability to seal well under high pressure and temperature conditions, making them a solid choice for keeping your engine running smoothly.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel, each with a special coating, to create a gasket that can handle the demands of a performance motorcycle engine. This design helps to prevent leaks and maintain consistent clamping force across the cylinder head and engine block, even as they expand and contract with heat. The .018 inch thickness is a common specification that works well for many rebuilds, helping to maintain proper compression ratios.
