Cometic Ford 1.6/1.8L CVH .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 83mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on the 1.6L or 1.8L CVH engine in your 1981-1985 Ford Escort or EXP, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal for your cylinder head.

This gasket 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°F (250°C) and works well in tough sealing situations. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; in this case, it's set to achieve a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches with an 83mm bore, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron engine blocks. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants.
