The Cometic MLS head gasket for Kawasaki KZ1000 and compatible models (1981–2005) fits a 73mm bore at .040" thickness and provides reliable multi-layer sealing for rebuilds. Embossed AMP-coated outer layers combined with an uncoated stainless center shim suit challenging sealing environments and different surface finishes. The center shim allows thickness variation, reduces clamp load to limit bore distortion, and improves load distribution across the sealing area.
