Product Details
This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with a compressed thickness of 0.030 inches and an 87mm bore, making it a solid choice for your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan. It’s designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.
The gasket’s construction features multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is crucial for sealing effectively against different block materials, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, and can withstand the shearing forces that arise from the expansion and contraction of dissimilar metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.
Because these MLS gaskets are well-built and require no additional sealants, they simplify the installation process. They are suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron engine configurations.
