Thin Head Gaskets

An easy way to increase compression ratio a tad is to install thinnner head gaskets. A snappier exhaust note and a more efficient combustion can be expected.

Example: using a .030" head gasket in lieu of a .045" will increase compression by approx. 0.25 points. So if your CR with a .045" head gasket is 9.6, the static CR will increase to 9.85 with a .030" head gasket. Valve to piston clearance must be checked where appropriate.

Cometic Engine Gasket Kits

Advanced engineering and manufacturing processes are used by the American company Cometic to produce the latest in gasket technolgy. For the mechanic Cometic means no more messy gasket sealers or silicone beads for fast, accurate and oil-tight results. Each gasket is manufactured from space-age materials to exacting needs and specifications. These kits contain gaskets of the best possible materials available. More expensive than standard kits for there is no compromise when building these kits. They contain such materials as MLS head gaskets, SLS base gaskets, AFM material, blue viton valve stem seals and race style exhaust gaskets, that won’t fray into the port and the latest upgrades in new gasket technology and fit, such as the one piece Evolution rocker box base gasket made from our single layer viton coated steel. For the builder who demands the best.
