Cometic Volvo B23A/B23E/B23F/B23FT/B23K/B230A/B230E .027in MLS Cyl Head Gasket-97mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Volvo B23 or B230 engine, 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 these engines, offering a strong seal that can withstand higher pressures and temperatures than stock paper gaskets.

Cometic constructs this gasket with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle harsh sealing environments and different surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum and cast iron blocks. With a compressed thickness of 0.027 inches and a 97mm bore, it's designed to fit a range of Volvo models from the late 70s through the 90s, including popular vehicles like the 240, 740, and 940 series.

This MLS design means you don't need any additional sealants, and the gasket's construction helps it rebound and resist the shearing forces that can occur between different block and head materials. It's a well-built option for anyone looking for a durable seal during an engine rebuild.
