Product Overview
Cometic Evo X Head Gasket – 88mm MLX 4B11T Performance Gasket
Upgrade your Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X engine with the Cometic Evo X Head Gasket C4483-048, a high-performance Multi-Layer Stopper (MLX) cylinder-head gasket designed for compatible 2.0L turbocharged 4B11T engines.
Featuring an 88 mm bore diameter, 0.048-inch compressed thickness and five-layer construction, this Cometic gasket is engineered for demanding engine sealing applications.
Whether rebuilding a modified Mitsubishi Evo X, refreshing a performance engine or preparing a professionally tuned 4B11T, selecting the correct head gasket is essential for maintaining reliable combustion chamber sealing.
Why Choose the Cometic Evo X Head Gasket?
The cylinder-head gasket creates a seal between the cylinder head and engine block.
It plays a critical role in maintaining combustion sealing while separating the engine’s oil and coolant passages.
Turbocharged engines place considerable thermal and mechanical demands on this sealing interface, especially when operated under sustained high loads.
The Cometic C4483-048 uses MLX technology to provide a specialist sealing solution for compatible engine builds.
Advanced Multi-Layer Stopper Technology
Cometic’s MLX technology incorporates an integrated stopper layer designed to improve combustion sealing.
The stopper design helps concentrate sealing load around the cylinder bore while controlling gasket compression.
This design is particularly relevant in performance applications where maintaining consistent combustion sealing is important.
The five-layer construction combines precision-engineered gasket materials with an integrated combustion sealing system.
88mm Bore for Modified 4B11T Engines
The C4483-048 has an 88 mm bore opening.
This specification makes the gasket suitable for compatible 4B11T engine builds requiring an 88 mm head gasket bore.
The gasket bore must be selected to suit the actual cylinder diameter and engine configuration.
An 88 mm gasket should not automatically be fitted to an engine simply because it is listed for the Mitsubishi Evo X.
Before ordering, confirm the cylinder bore, piston configuration and gasket requirements with your engine builder.
0.048-Inch Compressed Thickness
The Cometic C4483-048 has a compressed thickness of 0.048 inches, approximately 1.22 mm.
Head gasket thickness affects the assembled engine’s combustion chamber geometry.
Choosing the correct thickness is important for piston-to-head clearance and the intended compression ratio.
An engine builder should confirm the required specification rather than selecting gasket thickness solely by vehicle model.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X 4B11T Compatibility
The Cometic MLX head gasket is designed for compatible Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X engines equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged 4B11T.
The manufacturer lists Lancer applications from 2008 to 2015.
Compatibility depends on the actual engine configuration, including cylinder bore, cylinder-head preparation and the intended gasket thickness.
Modified engines and rebuilt cylinder heads require careful dimensional verification.
Engine Rebuild and Installation Considerations
Correct head gasket installation is essential for long-term reliability.
Before assembly, the engine block and cylinder head should be inspected for surface flatness, damage and cleanliness.
The engine builder must also verify the required surface finish and follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation procedures.
Cylinder-head fasteners should be installed and tightened using the appropriate specifications.
Do not apply additional gasket sealants unless specifically directed by the gasket manufacturer.
