Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-86mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan, getting the cylinder head gasket seated right is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of the OHV Kent engine, ensuring a solid seal between your cylinder head and the open deck block.

Cometic uses a special HP shim technology in this gasket. This design raises the clamping force around the combustion chamber, which helps create a stronger seal, especially important with open deck designs. The outer layers of the gasket are coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, further enhancing its sealing capabilities and durability in the engine's demanding environment.

This gasket has a thickness of .027 inches and an 86mm bore, designed to fit the specific dimensions of the Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent and Crossflow OHV Kent engines, as well as Cosworth BD Series and Lotus Twin Cam applications. Make sure to check the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper torque sequences and any specific preparation needed for your engine build.
