Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .092in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-82mm Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan, you need a head gasket that seals reliably. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic Gasket is built for the Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent and Crossflow OHV Kent engines, as well as Cosworth BD Series and Lotus Twin Cam applications. It features an 82mm bore and a thickness of .092 inches, making it a precise fit for these classic engines.

Cometic's HP shim technology is a notable feature here. It's designed to increase the clamping force around the combustion chamber, which is especially important for open deck blocks like those found in many of these vehicles. This improved sealability helps prevent leaks and ensures consistent performance. The gasket is also coated on both sides with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, further enhancing its sealing capabilities and durability in demanding engine conditions.
