Cometic gaskets back in stock

we now have back in stock a limited supply of US made Cometic 3 layer metal head gaskets. $190 incl post to eastern states. These are 1mm thick and fit Gen 1 & 2 turbo and non-turbo engines. They DO NOT fit gen 3 engines (Oct 93 onwards), but we have another source for Gen 3 metal gaskets if you need them. On highly boosted cars, we recommend the addition of head or block o-rings, which we can undertake for you. We use these metal head gaskets on our gen 1 & 2 race prepared engines and find them equal or beter than Jap made gaskets at up to twice the price. Most gaskets stocked. We can supply Cometic gaskets for most popular Jap engines.

    Hey guys,
    Can you get these cometic gaskets in a thicker size? besides 1mm?
    Also, if i have the surfaces of the head and block milled, is it recommended to run a 1mm gasket? Will this return it to standard compression?
    Cheers.

    We stcok the 1mm ones add can sometimes get them in 1.25mm thick, but it depends on cometic stocks. we only machine a miniscule amount off both faces unless the surfaces are badly scored from ham-fisted gasket removals in the past. A stock head gasket is about 1.15mm compressed. once the block & head are milled, the compression will raise ever so slightly. it is not a problem in most cases.
