Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .032in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-83mm Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of the Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent and Crossflow OHV Kent engines, as well as Cosworth BD Series and Lotus Twin Cam applications.

Cometic uses a special HP shim technology that increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This is especially helpful for open deck blocks, ensuring a strong seal that prevents leaks. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, further enhancing its sealing capabilities and durability.

With an 83mm bore and a .032 inch thickness, this gasket is designed to fit precisely and provide the correct compression for these classic engines. It's a well-built component that helps ensure your engine rebuild is done right.
