Cometic mls head gasket
« on: Tuesday,October 03, 2017, 07:25:18 PM »
Has anyone used a cometic mls head gasket?  I just received mine in the mail and found two issues.  The embossing around the oil feed to to the head does not encircle the kidney shaped feed, and one of the rivets hits the block.  I bought this gasket because the .030" thick copper/steel gasket I removed is not available through RD enterprises.  The gasket I bought from RD is .060" thick and I don't want to reduce the compression ratio that much (1 ratio).

I have read they work well.  Any thoughts?

I've used a few different thickness on Toyota 7M  and Nissan L motors. I have reused twice by drilling out the rivets so the rivets can safely be removed. I don't know about the oil feed port though.
