The product was good the shipping sucks. No reason it should take so long to get a small light weight package.
Cometic Milwaukee-Eight MLS Head Gaskets 4.075" Bore .040" Thick - Harley Milwaukee-Eight
About Cometic
Cometic Gasket manufactures multi-layer steel head gaskets and complete gasket kits in Concord, Ohio. On a built V-twin running higher compression or a big-bore kit, the MLS head gasket is what keeps the top end sealed — which is why Cometic is the default spec on so many engine builds.
When you're pushing a Milwaukee-Eight engine, reliable sealing is non-negotiable. These Cometic MLS (multi-layer steel) head gaskets are engineered to handle the increased cylinder pressures and temperatures of high-performance V-twin builds. They provide a robust seal that factory gaskets can't match, especially when running higher compression or boost.
Why riders pick this
- MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) construction for superior sealing
- Engineered for high-performance Milwaukee-Eight engines
- Designed for 4.075" gasket bore with .040" thickness
- Resists extreme heat and cylinder pressure
- Direct fit replacement for M8 platforms
These Cometic Milwaukee-Eight head gaskets are built for riders who demand more from their M8. Featuring a 4.075" gasket bore and .040" MLS (multi-layer steel) construction, they're designed for a precise fit and superior sealing performance. Whether you're doing a cam swap, a big bore kit, or adding forced induction, these gaskets provide the reliability needed to keep your build buttoned up.
Engineered for High Performance

The Foundation of a Strong Build
Don't overlook the critical role of quality gaskets in any engine upgrade. These Cometic head gaskets are a vital component for ensuring the longevity and performance of your Milwaukee-Eight. They are a direct replacement, but their advanced construction makes them ideal for engines that are uncorked and pushed harder than stock. Pair them with a meticulous assembly process for peace of mind on the road.

Common questions
Will these head gaskets fit my Twin Cam engine?
No, these Cometic head gaskets are specifically engineered for Milwaukee-Eight engines only. Twin Cam owners will need a different gasket set.
What does MLS construction mean for my engine?
MLS stands for multi-layer steel, which means the gasket is constructed from several layers of steel. This design provides superior sealing under high heat, pressure, and boost, making them ideal for performance M8 builds.
Do I need to replace my head bolts or studs when installing these?
While reusing factory head fasteners is common, it's always best practice to inspect them for any signs of wear or stretching. Consult your factory service manual for specific recommendations for your year and model Milwaukee-Eight.
