What is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

A Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is made from several layers of steel. This construction provides superior strength and sealing compared to traditional composite gaskets, making it ideal for high-performance engines.

Why is gasket thickness important?

Gasket thickness affects the compression ratio of your engine. A .027 inch thickness is a specific measurement designed for the 2001 Ducati 996R to maintain its intended compression when installed correctly.

What are the benefits of using Cometic gaskets?

Cometic gaskets are known for their well-built construction and precise sealing capabilities. They are often chosen for performance applications and engine rebuilds where a reliable seal is critical for engine health and power.
