Cometic Subaru EJ22T 98mm Bore .056in. MLS Cylinder 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 a 1949-1954 Jaguar XK120, 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 over time.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is tough and designed to work in harsh sealing environments, ensuring a reliable seal even with different materials like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .056 inch compressed operating thickness of this particular gasket, which is crucial for maintaining proper compression ratios. These MLS gaskets don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
