Cometic Lotus 4cyl 82mm .040 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed for your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan. It features an 82mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches, providing a solid seal for your 4-cylinder engine.

Built with multiple layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F (250°C), which helps ensure a reliable seal even in demanding conditions. MLS gaskets are well-suited for applications with aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. Because they are made of multiple steel layers, they can rebound and resist corrosion, and they do not require any additional sealants.
