Cometic C4142-056 MLS Head Gasket Ford Kent Cosworth BD Lotus Twin Cam - 86mm

The Cometic C4142-056 is a precision-engineered Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for classic Ford Kent engines and their high-performance derivatives. This .056" thick gasket is specifically manufactured to fit Ford Pre-Crossflow OHV Kent, Crossflow OHV Kent, Cosworth BD Series, and Lotus Twin Cam engines with an 86mm bore diameter.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for superior sealing and durability
• .056" (1.42mm) compressed thickness for precise compression ratio control
• 86mm bore diameter accommodates stock and mildly overbored applications
• Compatible with multiple Ford Kent engine variants and race-bred derivatives
• Engineered to withstand high cylinder pressures and temperatures
• Eliminates the need for retorquing after initial installation

Cometic's MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with advanced coating technology that provides exceptional conformability to sealing surfaces. This design allows the gasket to recover from extreme cylinder pressure changes and thermal expansion cycles, making it ideal for both street performance and racing applications. The gasket is compatible with Ford Pre-Crossflow and Crossflow OHV Kent engines commonly found in classic Ford Anglias, Cortinas, and Escorts, as well as the legendary Cosworth BD Series and Lotus Twin Cam engines used in vintage racing and high-performance builds.
