What is a multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket?

A multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket is made from several layers of steel pressed together. This construction allows it to better handle the high temperatures and pressures found in an engine, offering a strong and reliable seal.

What does the 81mm bore size refer to?

The 81mm bore size indicates the diameter of the opening in the gasket that surrounds the cylinder. This measurement must match the bore of your engine's cylinders for a proper seal.

What is needed for proper installation of this head gasket?

Proper installation requires clean and flat mating surfaces on both the cylinder head and the engine block. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's specific torque sequence and specifications outlined in the service manual.

Product Details

This is a Cometic head gasket, part number C8279, designed for specific Suzuki motorcycle models including the 1997-2005 GSF1200S Bandit. A head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber, preventing coolant and oil leaks, and maintaining proper compression within your engine. When you're rebuilding the top end or replacing a blown gasket, a well-made gasket like this one is essential for a reliable seal.

Cometic uses multi-layer steel (MLS) construction for this gasket, which is a popular choice for performance and high-stress applications. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to handle temperature fluctuations and pressure changes common in motorcycle engines. The 81mm bore size is specific to the listed Suzuki models, ensuring a precise fit for optimal sealing performance. This type of construction helps prevent leaks and maintain the integrity of your engine's internal components.

When installing this head gasket, ensure all mating surfaces on the cylinder head and engine block are clean and flat. Always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for the correct torque sequence and specifications to achieve the best possible seal and prevent gasket failure.
