keeps the oil on the right side
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 oil pump cover gasket is designed for Panhead, Shovelhead, and Evolution Big Twin engines, providing a reliable seal to prevent oil leakage. It's an OEM-spec replacement that helps maintain proper engine oil pressure under all riding conditions.
Maintaining proper oil pressure and preventing leaks are critical for the health of any V-twin engine, especially classic Panheads, Shovelheads, and Evolution Big Twins. This Cometic oil pump cover gasket is manufactured to OEM specifications, ensuring a precise fit and reliable sealing performance. Its low-profile design matches factory dimensions, which is essential for proper pump alignment and consistent oil pressure within your engine.
When servicing your oil pump, always use a fresh gasket to ensure a leak-free seal. Cometic gaskets are designed for single-use to provide optimal performance and prevent future issues. While this gasket is a direct replacement for Panhead, Shovelhead, and Evolution Big Twin models, it's always wise to consult your specific Harley-Davidson service manual for detailed installation procedures and torque specifications. Proper installation is key to maintaining your engine's oil system integrity.
What part of the engine does this gasket seal?
This gasket seals the oil pump cover to the pump housing, preventing oil weeping at the joint and helping to maintain critical oil pressure.
Will this gasket fit my Sportster engine?
No, this gasket is specifically designed for Big Twin engines, including Panhead, Shovelhead, and Evolution models. Sportster engines use a different oil pump gasket.
Is this gasket reusable?
No, Cometic gaskets are designed as one-time-use components. Always use a new, fresh gasket during assembly to ensure a proper and leak-free seal.

keeps the oil on the right side
Easy to install. Good quality and price. Does what it is supposed to do
Very good quality/value for the price, I would buy them again.
Good gasket, I like these because they are the same thickness as factory, and do not change the end play on the cam and breather
Decent gasket. Sticks out of the nosecone cover a bit at the top as it doesn't follow the nose cone shape precisely. Seals well.
easy to replace just like oem
