Installation Guide
Tools Required
- Complete SAE socket and wrench set
- Torque wrench (inch‑lb and ft‑lb) with appropriate ranges for head and rocker fasteners
- Allen/Hex and Torx drivers (Harley-specific fasteners)
- Soft-face hammer and small picks/scrapers for old gasket removal (plastic or brass preferred)
- Razor scraper or gasket remover (used carefully to avoid damaging aluminum surfaces)
- Feeler gauges and straightedge (to check for warped surfaces if necessary)
- Threadlocker (Loctite, as specified by Harley service manual)
- Engine assembly lube (optional but recommended)
- Service manual for torque specs and tightening sequences
Pro Tips
- Always have the Harley-Davidson factory service manual for the exact model you’re working on; follow the torque specs and sequences precisely.
- Dry-fit the kit and lay out each gasket according to location before starting disassembly so you don’t confuse similar pieces.
- Use brake cleaner or a non‑residue solvent and lint‑free rags to get all gasket surfaces spotless and oil‑free before installing MLS head gaskets.
- Chase and clean threaded holes with a tap or thread chaser to ensure accurate torque readings.
- Rotate the engine by hand several revolutions after assembly to confirm smooth valvetrain operation before first fire.
- Perform a careful leak check after first heat cycle and re‑torque any fasteners that the service manual specifies for re‑torque.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not thoroughly cleaning gasket surfaces, leaving old material that causes leaks
- Dry-installing where light oil or specified sealant is required by Harley/Cometic instructions
- Ignoring torque sequence on cylinder heads and rocker boxes
- Over‑torquing MLS head gaskets, which can distort them and compromise sealing
- Reusing old O‑rings or mixing new and old gaskets in the same assembly
- Failing to check pushrod adjustment and valve train geometry after reassembly
Comparison vs Stock/OEM
Cometic Twin Cam EST kits typically use multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets and premium sealing materials designed to handle higher cylinder pressures and temperatures compared to many OEM composite gaskets.
Improvements
- MLS head gaskets for improved sealing in high‑compression or performance builds
- High‑quality materials that better resist blow‑out and seepage under hard use
- Comprehensive kit packaging to support a single top‑end/cam chest job
- Reputation in racing and high‑performance Harley builds for reliability
Considerations
- MLS gaskets require very clean, flat surfaces and correct torque procedures; poor prep can negate their benefits.
- Ride quality difference versus OEM is negligible, but improper install can cause leaks.
- Does not include hardware; OEM or upgraded fasteners may still be required.
