Cometic Lotus 4cyl 83mm Bore .040 inch MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of your 4-cylinder engine. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and maintain a solid seal over time.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is crucial for meeting the sealing challenges in harsh environments and works well whether you have aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the overall compressed thickness is 0.040 inches, with an 83mm bore, ensuring it fits your engine precisely.
