Cometic Lotus 4cyl 84mm Bore .040 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches and an 84mm bore, specifically designed for your 4-cylinder Lotus engine. MLS gaskets are known for their robust construction, using multiple layers of stainless steel to create a strong seal that can handle the demands of high-output engines without needing additional sealants. This design is effective whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise between different metals.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating ensures a reliable seal even in harsh operating conditions and across various surface finishes. The center layer is made of uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements, making this gasket a well-built option for rebuilding or maintaining your engine's top end.
