Cometic BMC 948/1098 A Series .032in Copper Cylinder Head Gasket - 67.5mm Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1962-1965 Austin Healey Sprite, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is designed to handle the pressures of performance engines. It's constructed with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion, and the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments.

The MLS design means this gasket can handle the different expansion rates between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, which is important for engine longevity. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 67.5mm, with an initial thickness of .032 inches. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
