Cometic Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent-Crossflow OHV Kent .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-83mm Bore

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for the Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent and Crossflow OHV Kent engines, as well as the Cosworth BD Series and Lotus Twin Cam engines found in your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan. It features an 83mm bore and a .098 inch thickness, crucial for maintaining proper compression and sealing the combustion chamber.

The gasket utilizes Cometic's HP shim technology, which is embossed and coated with Viton. This design increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber, helping to create a stronger seal, especially important with open deck block designs. The multi-layer steel construction offers a well-built and durable sealing surface that resists stretching and blowout under pressure.
