Cometic Ford 1.6/1.8L CVH .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 83mm Bore

If you're working on the engine of your 1981-1985 Ford Escort with a 1.6L or 1.8L CVH engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you need. It's designed to create a solid seal between your cylinder head and engine block, which is crucial for keeping combustion gases contained and coolant and oil where they belong. This gasket is built 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 multi-layer steel construction means this gasket has good rebound properties and can handle the forces created when mating different metals, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. With a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches and an 83mm bore, it's made to fit your specific engine. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
