Cometic Volvo B23A/B23E/B23F/B23FT/B23K/B230A/B230E .066in MLS Cyl Head Gasket-97mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to seal the cylinder head to the engine block for a range of Volvo B23 and B230 series engines. It features a compressed operating thickness of 0.066 inches and a bore size of 97mm, designed to handle the demands of higher output engines without needing additional sealants. This gasket is suitable for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it's constructed to resist the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

The construction involves multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating is engineered to perform well in various sealing conditions and on different surface finishes. The center layer is also stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine requirements.
