What does 'Modified WTR Ports' mean on this gasket?

This means the gasket is designed to accommodate changes made to the water (coolant) passages in the cylinder head or block. It's often used in engines that have had their cooling system modified for improved flow or heat management.

What is the benefit of Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction?

MLS gaskets are known for their strength and ability to seal effectively under high pressure and temperature. They can conform to slight surface irregularities, providing a more reliable seal compared to some other gasket materials.

Is this gasket suitable for a stock engine?

This gasket is specifically designed for engines with modified water ports and a .75 inch thickness. It's best suited for performance or modified applications rather than a completely stock engine unless those specific modifications have been made.

Product Details

This Cometic head gasket features a .75 inch thickness and an 85mm bore, designed to work with modified water ports on Suzuki M13A, M15A, and M16A engines. It's built to handle the demands of an engine rebuild or repair, ensuring a solid seal between your cylinder head and engine block. The specific design for modified water ports means it accounts for changes made to the cooling system passages, which is crucial for proper coolant flow and heat dissipation in performance or heavily modified applications. Cometic uses a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction for their gaskets, which offers excellent sealing capabilities and durability under pressure and temperature fluctuations.

The multi-layer steel design provides a strong, reliable seal that can conform to minor imperfections on the mating surfaces of the head and block. This type of construction is well-suited for engines that may experience higher operating temperatures or pressures, common in modified builds. The .75 inch thickness is a specific dimension that needs to match your engine's requirements, especially when dealing with other modifications to the engine's rotating assembly or cylinder head. Ensuring you have the correct gasket thickness is vital for maintaining proper compression ratios and valve timing.
