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.

Common questions

Will this primary gasket fit my Sportster?

No, this Cometic primary gasket is specifically designed for Harley-Davidson Panhead, Shovelhead, and Evolution Big Twin engines. Sportster models use a different primary gasket.

What is the benefit of this Cometic gasket over a factory gasket?

Cometic gaskets are engineered for consistent sealing across a wide range of temperature and pressure cycles, helping to reduce the common weeping often seen with older OEM gaskets.

Do I need to replace the primary gasket every time I open the primary cover?

It's recommended to inspect the gasket carefully. If it is undamaged and can still provide a proper seal when reinstalled, it may be reusable. Always check for tears or permanent compression before deciding to reuse.

Works Fine at a lower cost

I usually have an OEM from Harley Davidson, I have used this twice on my 04 Electraglide, no leaks or issues. At a much lower price.

A mediocre gasket

I didn’t use this gasket after removing the derby and seeing the Harley gasket that I removed. No comparison in quality. I ended up going to the local dealer and bought an O.E. gasket.

There is nothing on them indicating they are actually Cometic gaskets. Are they Substitutes?
