Cometic 97-03 Honda CBR1100XX 81MM Bore .030 MLS Head Gasket

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket specifically made for the 1997-2003 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird. If you're rebuilding the top end of your CBR1100XX, a quality head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This gasket is designed to handle the pressures and temperatures found in your motorcycle's engine.

The MLS construction uses multiple layers of steel to create a strong, durable seal that resists gasket failure, especially in high-performance or modified engines. This particular gasket has an 81mm bore, which is the standard size for the CBR1100XX, and it's also .030 inches oversize. This means it's intended for engines that have been bored out by that amount during a rebuild, ensuring a proper seal with the larger pistons.

When installing this gasket, make sure the cylinder head and engine block surfaces are perfectly clean and flat. Proper torque sequence and specifications, as provided by the manufacturer, are essential for achieving a reliable seal and preventing leaks.
