Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-85mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of your engine. It sits between the cylinder head and the engine block, creating a seal that keeps combustion pressure contained and prevents coolant and oil from mixing.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This advanced coating helps ensure a reliable seal even under high output conditions, and it means you don't need to add any sealants during installation. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.027 inches and an 85mm bore, making it a solid option for the OHV Kent and Twin Cam engines found in these classic Lotus models.
