Cometic Ford 1.6L & 1.8L CHV 83.0mm Bore .036 inch MLS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1981-1985 Ford Escort, a reliable head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of your engine, whether you're dealing with aluminum heads on an aluminum block or cast iron block. MLS construction offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, thanks to its multiple stainless steel layers that can rebound and resist shearing forces between different metals.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material designed to perform in harsh sealing environments and varying load conditions. This coating ensures a tight seal even with different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control. With a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and an 83.0mm bore, this gasket is designed to fit your specific 1.6L or 1.8L CVH engine without needing additional sealants.
