As you know, I've been talking with Cometic about producing a Multi-Layered Steel head gasket for us. The minimum thickness is .027 and the maximum is .140, and I can do any size within that range, as long as I order a minimum of 40 in that size. The combined minimum order is 150 gaskets, which means I can order four different sizes if I order 160 total. Therefore I was thinking .027, .038, .050, and .065 would be the best thicknesses to start with. Or I'd may add a couple more (.075 and .086) for those who need to lower their C/Rs, for boosted applications or if their heads have beem milled to the max.
Once the MLS gaskets are done, they can follow up with the development of a gas filled O-ring, which is used with the MLS gasket for high boost applications. This prevents the need for leaky copper head gaskets and o-ringing of the block, which is expensive and requires a full engine tear down.
They said they should be ready in six to eight weeks, which would be around mid to late Feb. Based on a rough quote for a mimimum order of 150 gaskets, they suggested a retail price of $168 bucks (I should have a firm price by the end of next week). If your interested in getting one of these, check the size you need above, so I have an idea of what sizes and quantities to order.
