Cometic 68+ Volvo B20A/E/F 92mm .040 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches and a 92mm bore, making it a solid choice for 1968 and later Volvo B20A, B20E, and B20F engines. MLS gaskets are known for their strength and ability to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block. They work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and can even handle the differences in expansion between aluminum heads and iron blocks without issue.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating helps ensure a tight seal even under tough operating conditions and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be adjusted to meet different sealing requirements, which is how this gasket achieves its specific 0.040 inch compressed thickness.

This gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance and does not require any additional sealants. It's a well-built component that fits a range of Volvo models from the late 60s through the mid-70s, including vehicles like the Volvo 142, 144, and 1800.
