Cometic Lotus 4cyl 85mm .040 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 engine. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion and maintain a solid seal under pressure.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This makes it suitable for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the overall compressed thickness is 0.040 inches with an 85mm bore, ensuring a precise fit for your engine.

This MLS gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. It's a solid option for high-output engines where a reliable seal is critical.
