What is Aluminum Foamet material?

Aluminum Foamet is a material Cometic uses that combines a nitrile foam rubber with an aluminum core. This construction makes the gasket rigid while still allowing for good compressibility, which helps create a reliable seal.

What does the .032in thickness mean for my engine?

The .032 inch thickness is a specific measurement for this gasket. It's designed to provide a precise seal for the water pump backing plate, helping to prevent coolant leaks and ensure proper engine cooling.

Does this gasket come with any hardware?

This product is for the water pump backing plate gasket only. Hardware such as bolts or studs is not included and should be sourced separately if needed.
