Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-86mm Bore

Starting with a compressed thickness of 0.056 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for demanding sealing performance. It's constructed with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F (250°C). This Viton coating is designed to handle tough sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for thickness variations to meet specific engine needs.

These MLS gaskets are ideal for high-output engines and do not require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. The multiple stainless steel layers provide enhanced strength and durability, capable of withstanding the shearing forces that can occur between different block and head materials. This makes them a solid option for rebuilding or maintaining the top end of your Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent, Crossflow OHV Kent, Cosworth BD Series, or Lotus Twin Cam engine.
