Cometic 78-98 Volvo B23 97mm .045 inch MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions for a wide range of engines. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed for Volvo B23, B230, and B234 engines from 1978 through 1998. It features a 97mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.045 inches, making it a solid option for rebuilding or repairing your engine.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This advanced coating ensures a strong seal even in harsh conditions and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, preventing issues from dissimilar metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.045 inches on this particular gasket.

This gasket fits a range of Volvo vehicles, including models like the 240, 740, and 940 series. Because it requires no additional sealants, installation is straightforward when you're ready to put your engine back together.
