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.
Cometic Milwaukee-Eight base gaskets are engineered to handle the demanding power levels of today's performance V-twin engines. These .020" thick gaskets provide a reliable seal at the engine base, crucial for maintaining optimal compression and preventing leaks on your M8-equipped Harley or Indian motorcycle.
