Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-85mm Bore

Starting with a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for the specific demands of your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan. It’s designed to handle the high output engines common in these classic sports cars, offering a robust seal without needing additional sealants. The MLS construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which not only adds strength but also allows the gasket to rebound and resist corrosion, making it suitable for applications with both aluminum and cast iron blocks.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This makes it well-suited for harsh sealing environments and varying load conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet specific requirements, with this particular gasket featuring a 0.056-inch thickness and an 85mm bore to match your engine's specifications.
