Cometic Jaguar 1973-1992 4.2L XK6 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.690in Bore

If you're working on the engine of your 1972-1987 Jaguar XJ6, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is built to handle the job. It's specifically made for the 4.2L XK6 engine and features a 3.690-inch bore with a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches. This gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block, crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks.

Cometic's MLS gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them excellent strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for both aluminum and cast iron engine components. This construction means the gasket requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation and ensuring a reliable seal right out of the box. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.040-inch specification on this particular gasket.
