Multi-layer is just one of those buzzwords that get's dressed up and thrown around, when in reality the majority of gaskets are of multi-layer construction. The thing that makes the difference to the performance and durability of a gasket is what the 3 layers are made of, and what's been done to them prior to sandwiching them together. These are the best you can get. Regards, Rich. ________________________________________ Contact Details:rich@lynxpowerengineering.co.uk 07732 822546 |

It�s nothing like a Cometic, I can assure you that  Main differences are: � This is designed specifically for the XU10J4RS engine. The Cometic XU gaskets don�t fit the RS engine well � you have to remove the rivets that hold the 3 layers together, because they fall in locations where the head / block are in direct contact with each other. � The biggest, and IMO, the most important difference is that these gaskets have a large flat washer [effectively a 4th layer] between two of the other layers. This washer acts as a fire ring around the combustion chamber, and due the increased thickness at this location, additional clamping load is exerted on this washer, creating a mechanical seal around the chamber. Again, it�s IMO � but I don�t think the Cometic gasket for this particular application is any better than the OEM gasket. The materials are obviously better, but in construction it�s identical and relies on the swaged profiles to make a seal. Have used lots of head gaskets to destruction, I would rather use an OEM gasket than a Cometic � at least it fits properly! ________________________________________ Contact Details:rich@lynxpowerengineering.co.uk 07732 822546 |
