Cometic Ford 1.6/1.8L CVH .095in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 83mm Bore

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. When compressed, it measures 0.098 inches thick, designed to provide maximum sealing performance for your 1.6L or 1.8L CVH engine in your 1981-1985 Ford Escort or EXP. These gaskets are ideal for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, effectively handling the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The strength of MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape. The Viton coating on both sides is a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit (250 C), making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various load conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness adjustments to meet specific engine requirements. Because of their advanced construction, these Cometic MLS head gaskets do not require any additional sealants.
