Cometic Jaguar 3.8L 6cyl 88mm Bore .040 inch MLS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of a classic Jaguar with the 3.8L XK6 engine, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these iconic engines, ensuring a strong seal between your cylinder head and block.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is designed to work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and it means you don't need to use any additional sealants during installation. The compressed thickness of this gasket is .040 inches, and it features an 88mm bore, making it suitable for a range of classic Jaguar models from the 1950s and 60s.

This gasket is a solid option for many Jaguar models, including the XK120, XK140, XK150, XKE, and various Mark series cars. It's designed for a direct fit, simplifying the installation process when you're putting your engine back together.
