MLX Head Gasket 88mm Bore x .044" Thickness

The Cometic C4953-044 is an MLX head gasket engineered specifically for the Hyundai Theta II 2.0L Turbo engine. This gasket is constructed with 4 layers of MLX material, featuring an 88mm bore size and a compressed thickness of .044 inches. Head gaskets are critical components that seal the combustion chamber between the engine block and cylinder head, preventing the intermingling of exhaust gases, oil, and coolant. Maintaining a healthy head gasket is particularly important when increasing a vehicle's horsepower. Cometic Gasket has been a leader in manufacturing processes and materials since 1989. All Cometic products are manufactured in the United States using American-sourced materials. The company operates from a state-of-the-art R&D and manufacturing center in Concord, Ohio, serving various motorsports and automotive markets globally. This specific gasket is designed as a direct replacement, ensuring proper fitment for compatible Hyundai models. It is recommended to ensure your head gasket is in good condition, especially if modifications are being made to increase horsepower.
