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.

This Cometic head and base gasket set is engineered for EVO Sportster engines with a stock bore, featuring a .030 inch thickness. Sold as a two-pack, these gaskets are a direct OEM replacement, ensuring a precise seal between the cylinder head, base, and engine block.

Why riders pick this

  • Two complete head and base gasket sets
  • For EVO Sportster engines with stock bore
  • .030 inch thickness for a tight seal
  • Direct OEM replacement specification

When tackling a top-end refresh or rebuild on your Evolution Sportster, the quality of your head and base gaskets is critical. This Cometic set is specifically designed for stock bore applications, providing a robust and reliable seal to maintain optimal engine compression and prevent oil leaks. The two-pack ensures you have the necessary components for a complete service.

Maintain Peak V-Twin Performance

Properly sealed cylinder heads and bases are fundamental to your Sportster's performance and longevity. These Cometic gaskets are crafted to meet original Harley-Davidson specifications, ensuring a dependable seal. Always confirm your engine's bore size before purchasing, as these gaskets are intended for stock bore applications and will not fit overbored engines.

DONT FOLLOW PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS!

DON’T FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BOX!!! It says recommended torque is 42 lb/ft. You know what happened at 32lb/ft? One of bolts broke! And I was lucky there was long enough piece sticking out to remove it without drilling out! Check photos.
