Here is the deal on the Cometic Gaskets.

Cometic operates on a Just In Time (JIT) inventory system. This means they do not produce gaskets until there is an order to be filled. A few of you were worried about delays using this system. Cometic has assured me that they are getting most gaskets out in a week. I placed an order for 5 gaskets on Friday (08/09) (these have already been sold), so we will see if this holds true. Scott told me they would ship on Wednesday (08/14).

Since there are so many different bore sizes, thicknesses and applications I cannot keep these in stock until I know what is going to sell and what isn’t.

Here is how the GB will work. Orders will be grouped by weeks. All the orders I receive by noon each Friday will be called into Cometic Friday afternoon. Cometic will manufacture those gaskets and they will ship the next week.

<u>Here’s what’s available. </u>

Cometic's MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Gaskets

These are constructed of two nitrile coated outer embossed spring steel layers with a steel inner layer that provides support to the gasket allowing multiple thicknesses. Cometic gaskets withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. Once the gasket takes a torque set, there is no re-torquing required. Less clamping force is required allowing for reduced bore distortion.

Cometic HP Style head gasket
These gaskets have an extra shim around the combustion area to help seal better for cars with turbo, nitrous or supercharger.

Questions if I may: If we use the cometic HP gasket, we can't or shouldn't need Golden Eagle to o-ring the block when I have them re-sleeve it?

thanks,

It's best to ask GE about this.

How much is the .030 gasket for a 84.5mm B18C? Oops! I'll email you!

bwahahaha.... that was good! I was just wondering if there is a price difference between stock bore and a 84.5mm bore gasket!
