Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-82mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with an .098-inch thickness and an 82mm bore, specifically designed for Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent and Crossflow OHV Kent engines, as well as Cosworth BD Series and Lotus Twin Cam applications. The HP shim technology integrated into this gasket is key; it increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber, which is especially important for open-deck blocks like those found in many classic Lotus models. This improved sealability helps prevent leaks and ensures reliable engine performance.

The gasket is coated on both sides with Viton, a high-performance fluoroelastomer known for its resistance to heat and chemicals. This coating further enhances the gasket's ability to maintain a strong seal under demanding engine conditions, protecting against blow-by and coolant leaks. Its multi-layer steel construction offers a solid foundation for durability and consistent performance over time.
