Cometic MGB 4cyl 75-80 Head 83mm Bore .098 inch MLS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1962-1980 MG MGB, a reliable head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of your MGB's 1.8L B-Series engine.

Cometic's MLS design 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°F (250°C) and provides excellent sealing even on varied surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to achieve specific compressed operating thicknesses, like the 0.098 inches found in this gasket. This construction makes it suitable for sealing aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This gasket is designed as a direct fit for your MGB and requires no additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. It's a well-built component that helps ensure a proper seal for your engine's performance.
