Cometic Jaguar 3.8L XK6 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 88mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making dependable sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's built for Jaguar 3.8L XK6 engines, specifically designed to handle the demands of these classic powerplants. This gasket is crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant and oil from mixing, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably.

This MLS gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and maintain its seal over time. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This advanced coating is designed to work effectively in harsh sealing environments and with various surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control, and this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches with an 88mm bore, fitting a range of Jaguar models from the 1950s and 60s like the XK120, XK140, and XKE.

Because it's a Multi-Layer Steel gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. This makes it a solid option for anyone rebuilding or restoring their Jaguar engine, offering a durable and effective seal for years to come.
