Recommended Posts

I searched around and found alot of references to the HG that Cometic makes but found no real experience with them.

 

I need a HG and Cometic is alot cheaper then HKS or Tomei.

 

Anyone out there use one in there rb26 in HIGH HP application? Is it worth the cheaper price ir should i just stick with the Almost 400 dollar HKS version.

Stony, I have a Friend (Chris Tuten)that uses the Cometic gaskets on his Mustang. He races the NMRA circuit in the Drag Radial class. This is a V-8 application,with High Boost. He has had Good sucess using them over the copper and o-ring method he used before. He told me he has reused the cometic HG several times, He sprays them with copper coat and installs them.Jerry

I know of some people running cometic gaskets, and with all this drama flying over the net about how they suck, I don't see why all the people i know had success with them.... it makes me think those others are sponsored and feel like giving a bad name to a previous product that worked is going to help them in any way.

 

Has Cometic made a Cometic Fuzion gasket for the RB26 yet? They have nitride (i think) filled rings that seal just like o-ring setups without the cost of machining and the negative effects of not being able to use a previously o-ringed deck in some cases if the head or the block go even the slightest out of alignment.
