Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-82mm Bore

If you're working on your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan and need to replace the cylinder head gasket, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic Gasket is a solid option. It's designed with an 82mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches, specifically made to seal the combustion chamber and prevent leaks between the cylinder head and the engine block.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating helps ensure a reliable seal, even in high-output engine conditions, and means you don't need to add any extra sealants during installation. MLS gaskets are well-suited for applications where you have aluminum heads mating with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the stresses between different metals.

This particular gasket is also compatible with the Lotus Europa (1968-1975) and Lotus Seven (1969-1975) models, offering a precise fit for those classic engines.
