Cometic Jaguar 1973-1992 4.2L XK6 .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 3.670in Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Jaguar XJ6, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, designed to handle the pressures of your 4.2L XK6 engine. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F, ensuring a dependable seal even in demanding conditions.

The multi-layer steel construction gives this gasket increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. This design is effective for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, helping to manage the shearing forces that can occur. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses; this particular gasket has a nominal thickness of .056 inches and a bore size of 3.670 inches, with a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches.

This gasket is made to fit directly onto your 1972-1987 Jaguar XJ6, and it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a well-built component for ensuring your engine's combustion chambers are properly sealed.
