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 Sportster head and base gasket set is designed for Evo XL engines with a standard bore, providing a reliable seal for your V-twin's top end. Sold in a convenient 2-pack, it's a direct replacement for the OEM Harley part.

Common questions

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.
