Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .066in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-83mm Bore

This product is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent and Crossflow OHV Kent engines, as well as Cosworth BD Series and Lotus Twin Cam applications. It features an 83mm bore and a thickness of .066 inches, providing a reliable seal between your engine block and cylinder head. The embossed outer layers are coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, helping to maintain a tight seal under demanding conditions.

MLS head gaskets are a popular choice for many rebuilds because they offer improved sealing compared to traditional composite gaskets. The multiple steel layers allow for greater gasket compression, which can accommodate slight imperfections on the mating surfaces of the block and head. This makes them well-suited for engines that see regular use or have been modified. The .066 inch thickness is a common specification for these engines, helping to maintain the correct compression ratio.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles including Jensen Healey, various Lotus models like the Elan and Esprit, and Ford Kent engines. It's a well-built component that helps ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
