Cometic Headgaskets HMT Price is set $75 - Thanks for the research help guys!
 
Original Post is below, This is an update.

First off - We're not whoring it up in GD.... well I guess we kinda are doing that... My point was to show everyone who originally responded to this thread, the results of their efforts. Thanks Guys!

For the first ten buyers, we will be selling the the Cometic MLS gaskets to HMT folks for $75 plus shipping.

Since we do not have these in our online store, you'll need to do a little extra work to take advantage of this deal. You can place your order by sending us the part number of the Cometic gasket, and the thickness you want. (Yes, you need to research the catalog and send us the part number). We'll also need your intended payment method along with shipping / billing info. Send all info to "sales@tunertoys.com", and we'll send you back the total amount and payment instructions.

Paypal users will need to include an additional $2.50. (Yes we're cutting it that close with the HMT special price.)

The online Catalogs are here - http://www.cometic.com/catalogs/AutoCat04.pdf

Available thickness: .027", .030", .036", .040", .045", .051", .060", .065", .071", .074", .120"

And before you ask...We do not know what your compression ratios will be with whatever combination of components you have. We also do not know what thickness of gasket you need to use, in order to change your CR by this or that much. Do the research, select your gasket and thickness, and then take advantage of the special price.

Thank You HMT!

Craig



This was the original post...

Okay Guys,

We just got our dealership completed for Cometic Head Gaskets. We need your help setting pricing.

For everyone who has been looking for these, post a link with the best price you've found. It has to be a reputable company, who has been in business for more than a couple of years. If it's on eBay, it has to be an established business seller, not some dolt who is selling one he didn't use, at a blow out price.

For each of you who make a solid contribution (in my opinion) by posting a good link, and want to purchase a Cometic, we'll do our best to beat the best price you found, for your own purchase. You get a great price on a headgasket, and we use your research to set our pricing for non-HMT customers. ;D

And yes, we do know that OEM gaskets are very good gaskets, we don't need any reminders, or any relateded hate.

Cometic gaskets are made in the USA, if you didn't already know.

Craig

$79 is the best price we've seen, so that will probably be where our permanent price is set.

Yep King is actually priced more than $3 OVER list price. Yikes.

Yep, we have full access. They pretty much manufacture to each order, but their turn around is like two days plus shipping, or so we are told. We will probably keep the more common Honda stuff in stock, but can special order anything you need.

We can start taking orders immediately, even though we do not have them listed in our store yet. Just send an email to "sales@tunertoys.com" and Stacey can get your order placed.

Yeah just how much lower can you c/r i have been looking for the same info with no luck....Im running a pretty high c/r about 11.1 and im wondering if its possible to get down into boost friendly c/r. Like 9.5.1 would be nice is that possible?

Use this to find the thickness of gasket you are going to need to get your desired compression and then see what Cometic has that is close.They come in .025”, .027”, .030”, .036”, .040”, .043”, .045”, .054”, .067”, .078”, and .120” in MLS.

How accurate is that page?

I know there are degrees of change with every separate situation, but according to that site my CR is going to be 8.14 <_< Which seems crazy low.

Here is what I have and then how I entered it.

B18A1 - 81mm x 89mm
B18A1/B1 Head - 45cc/Cylinder
Piston - Other - (-12) Dome Displacement - Wiseco model no. K541M81
Gasket - Other - .025 inches
Piston To Deck - OEM B18 - .030

All calculates out to... 8.143703808595147!

------- crazy low. I guess I could get the block decked a bit... or just deal with the low ass comp ratio. Any body want to shoot me some options that don't include getting rid of my current pistons?! Thanks much!

Cometic offers D16A1 gaskets, but not sure about the sister ZC motor, and how exchangeable the two are.

We need to find out if they will drop ship for us. After that for the next week or so afterwards, we'll be selling them at $75 plus shipping. If they won't drop ship, we'll have to order them in groups, so you guys don't get screwed on shipping.

the only 2.2 they show is the Ecotec.

Yup, the head gasket for the a1 works perfectly. Let me know when you get all the other stuff worked out. There will be some folks on thezcr.com who are interested in the a1 headgaskets.

Our price will be $79 plus shipping for the MLS gaskets. Cometic no longer makes the HP type gasket, all applications are now MLS, which works fine with turbo / nitrous applications.
