Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .075in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-86mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a 1962-1975 Lotus Elan, this gasket is designed to provide a solid seal for your engine's cylinder head. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion and the forces created when mating different block and head materials, like aluminum to cast iron.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating helps ensure a tight seal even under demanding conditions. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; in this case, it's set to provide a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches with an 86mm bore, perfect for the specific needs of the OHV Kent and Twin Cam engines found in these classic Lotus models. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
