Cometic Pre-Crossflow SOHC Kent Cosworth BD Series Lotus Single Cam .043in CFM-20 Exhaust Mani Gskt

This Cometic exhaust manifold gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. When compressed, it measures 0.036 inches thick, offering a solid seal for your exhaust system. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a reliable seal without the need for additional sealants. It's well-suited for applications involving aluminum heads and blocks, or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise between different metals. The multi-layer steel construction not only adds strength but also provides resistance to corrosion and allows the gasket to rebound effectively.

The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This material is chosen for its ability to perform in harsh sealing environments, under various load conditions, and on different surface finishes. The center layer is made of uncoated stainless steel, which can be adjusted to meet different thickness requirements. This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Lotus Elan, Subaru Forester, and Subaru Impreza.
