Cometic Lotus Twin-Cam .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 84mm Bore - Non-Embossed Center

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with an 84mm bore and is .040 inches thick, designed specifically for your Lotus Twin-Cam engine. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to handle higher compression and temperatures compared to traditional composite gaskets, making them a solid choice for performance applications or when rebuilding your engine.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a high-performance synthetic rubber that offers excellent resistance to oil, fuel, and high temperatures. This coating helps to create a more robust seal, especially around the combustion chamber and oil passages, ensuring that critical fluids stay where they belong under demanding conditions. The non-embossed center section is a specific design choice for certain engine configurations, ensuring proper sealing without undue stress on the block or head.

When you're putting your Lotus Twin-Cam back together, a well-made head gasket like this one is crucial for proper engine function and longevity. It's a key component in maintaining compression and preventing leaks between the cylinder head and the engine block.
