Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-87mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with an 87mm bore and a compressed thickness of .060 inches, making it a solid choice for your Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent or Crossflow OHV Kent engine, including those found in Lotus Twin Cam applications. MLS gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound and resist corrosion. This design is well-suited for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that arise from the different expansion rates of these materials.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant synthetic rubber material rated up to 482°F (250°C). Viton is chosen for its ability to perform reliably in harsh sealing environments and under various load conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, providing a stable foundation and allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine requirements. These gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance for higher output engines and do not require additional sealants.
