Cometic Ford 1.6L & 1.8L CHV 83.0mm Bore .070 inch MLS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1981-1985 Ford Escort, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of your engine, ensuring a solid seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

This gasket is constructed with 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 tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. This design means you don't need to add any extra sealants, and it's suitable for use with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the stresses between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements, with this particular gasket having a compressed thickness of 0.070 inches and an 83.0mm bore, matching the specifications for the Ford 1.6L and 1.8L CVH engines.
