Cometic 15-20 Yamaha YZF-R3 68mm Bore .018 MLS Head Gasket

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket specifically made for the 2015-2021 Yamaha YZF-R3. It features a 68mm bore and a thickness of .018 inches, designed to create a solid seal between your engine block and cylinder head. A well-sealed engine is crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks, ensuring your motorcycle runs smoothly.

Cometic uses a Multi-Layer Steel construction, which is known for its strength and ability to handle the high pressures and temperatures found in modern motorcycle engines. This type of gasket is built to conform to minor imperfections in the mating surfaces, providing a consistent and reliable seal. The .018 inch thickness is a standard replacement size, meaning it should work seamlessly with your existing engine components without altering compression ratios significantly.

When rebuilding or repairing the top end of your Yamaha YZF-R3, a quality head gasket like this Cometic unit is essential. It's a direct replacement part, designed to fit right into place, making the installation process as straightforward as possible. Ensure your engine surfaces are clean and properly prepared before installation for the best possible seal.
