Cometic Ford 1.6/1.8L CVH .140in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 83mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1981-1985 Ford Escort with the 1.6L or 1.8L CVH engine, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial for a good seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these engines, ensuring your combustion chambers stay sealed and your engine runs smoothly.

Cometic's MLS design 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 high temperatures and harsh sealing environments without needing additional sealants. This construction makes it suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks, and it's designed to withstand the forces created when different metals are used together. The center layer can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, and this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches, with an 83mm bore size, making it a precise fit for your Escort's engine.
