• Size: 81 mm

**Cometic 4-Cycle MLS Head Gasket, GSX1300R 81mm** The Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gasket is engineered for high performance, durability, and precision. Its multi-layer stainless steel construction ensures superior strength, corrosion resistance, and the ability to rebound under stress. The gasket's outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant fluorocarbon rubber designed to endure temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). This coating provides a reliable seal in harsh environments, varying load conditions, and diverse surface finishes. The center layer, an uncoated stainless steel shim, is customizable to achieve multiple thickness requirements, making this gasket adaptable to different engine builds. This design is especially well-suited for use with aluminum heads paired with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, effectively managing the shearing forces generated by these materials. Cometic MLS gaskets promote even torque distribution across the gasket surface via Load Control Embossments (LCE), which reduces bore distortion and enhances piston ring sealing for improved engine performance. Ideal for applications requiring precision and longevity, this gasket is a perfect fit for the Suzuki GSX1300R with an 81mm bore diameter.
