Product Details

The Cometic C4281-040 is a precision-engineered Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed specifically for the classic Jaguar 3.4L XK6 inline-six engine. This gasket features a .040" (1.02mm) compressed thickness and is manufactured for an 83mm bore diameter, providing optimal sealing performance for both stock and moderately built applications.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for superior sealing and durability
  • 0.040" compressed thickness allows for minor block deck or head resurfacing
  • 83mm bore diameter engineered to match Jaguar XK6 cylinder specifications
  • Exceeds OEM gasket performance with modern materials and manufacturing
  • Accommodates thermal expansion and contraction better than conventional composite gaskets
  • Designed for Jaguar XK6 3.4L engines found in classic E-Types, Mk2 sedans, and S-Type models

Cometic's MLS gaskets utilize multiple layers of stainless steel with advanced coating technology to create a gasket that recovers quickly from thermal cycling and maintains consistent clamping pressure. The embossed sealing beads provide concentrated sealing force around combustion chambers, coolant passages, and oil galleries. This gasket is ideal for enthusiasts restoring or upgrading vintage Jaguar powerplants who demand reliability and precision fit.

They had what I needed, No hassle ordering. and it shipped fast.

Fast & easy. The way it should be.

I found exactly what I was looking for and it was listed for a very awesome price! Matter of fact it was lower than any other store I had found that part on. Shipping was super quick and I will totally shop from Autoplicity again!
