Cometic Lotus 4Cyl 84mm Bore .080 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan. It features an 84mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches, designed to provide a strong seal for your engine's cylinder head. MLS gaskets are known for their durability and ability to handle the demands of higher output engines without needing additional sealants.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control. This design is effective for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that occur between dissimilar metals.
