Cometic Subaru EJ22E Turbo 98mm .098 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket SOHC

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for high-output engines, offering a reliable seal for your Jaguar XK120. It's designed with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and the ability to rebound while resisting corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 98mm, making it a solid option for your engine rebuild.

MLS gaskets are ideal for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that arise from different materials. Because they are well-built with stainless steel layers and a Viton coating, they don't require additional sealants, simplifying installation. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, with this specific gasket set to a 0.098 inch thickness.
