What is the primary benefit of using a copper base gasket?

Copper gaskets are chosen for their excellent sealing capabilities in high-temperature and high-pressure engine environments. Copper's ability to conform to surface irregularities helps create a very tight seal, which is crucial for maintaining engine compression and preventing leaks.

What does the bore size and thickness mean for my engine?

The 3.130-inch bore size is specific to the engine's cylinder diameter, ensuring it covers the combustion area properly. The .005-inch thickness is critical for maintaining the correct compression ratio and valve-to-piston clearance within the engine's specifications.

Does this gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the copper base gasket only. It is recommended to inspect and replace any associated hardware, such as head bolts or studs, according to the manufacturer's service manual during installation.

Product Details

This Cometic base gasket is made from copper, a material known for its ability to seal well under high pressure and temperature, making it a solid choice for the demanding environment of an engine's combustion chamber. It's designed with a 3.130-inch bore and a thickness of .005 inches, specific dimensions that are critical for proper engine compression and sealing on a range of Suzuki motorcycles.

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Suzuki GS1000S, GS1100E, GS1150E, or similar models from the early 80s, getting the right gasket is key. This copper gasket from Cometic is built to meet the original specifications, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder block and head. Copper's natural malleability allows it to conform to imperfections in the mating surfaces, creating a tight seal that helps prevent leaks and maintain compression.

Proper installation is crucial for any engine gasket. Ensure your mating surfaces are clean and flat before installing this gasket to achieve the best possible seal. This gasket is a direct replacement for the original part, fitting right into place for a straightforward installation process.
