Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-83mm Bore

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for specific Ford and Lotus engines. It features an 83mm bore and a thickness of .036 inches, intended for use with Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent and Crossflow OHV Kent engines, as well as Cosworth BD Series and Lotus Twin Cam applications. The embossed outer layers are coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, helping to ensure a reliable seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

MLS head gaskets are a popular choice for many builds because they offer a strong, multi-layered construction that can handle higher cylinder pressures and temperatures compared to traditional composite gaskets. The Viton coating on the outer layers adds an extra layer of sealing integrity, particularly around the combustion chambers and oil passages. This gasket is designed to fit right into the specified Lotus Elan, Europa, and Seven models from the late 60s to mid-70s, providing a direct replacement for the original part.
