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.
Refresh your Harley-Davidson Evo Sportster's top end with this Cometic head and base gasket set, featuring embossments for superior sealing. Sold as a 2-pack, these direct OEM replacement gaskets use Cometic's advanced materials to reliably seal modern V-twin performance.

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.
