Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-84mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for sealing combustion and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of your engine.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle high temperatures and harsh sealing environments. The compressed thickness is 0.056 inches with an 84mm bore, designed to provide a solid seal between the cylinder head and the engine block. MLS gaskets are ideal for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron setups, as they can manage the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

Because it's an MLS design, this gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a well-built option for ensuring proper sealing in your classic Lotus engine.
