Product Details

The Cometic C4282-040 is a high-performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed specifically for the classic Jaguar 3.8L XK6 inline-six engine. This precision-engineered gasket features an 88mm bore diameter and a compressed thickness of .040 inches (1.02mm), making it ideal for stock and mildly modified applications.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction provides superior sealing and durability compared to traditional composite gaskets
  • 88mm bore diameter designed for the Jaguar XK6 engine platform
  • .040" compressed thickness for precise compression ratio control
  • Embossed stainless steel layers with elastomeric coatings ensure excellent combustion seal
  • Accommodates minor surface imperfections and thermal expansion
  • Suitable for both street and performance applications

Cometic's MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with advanced rubber-like coatings that maximize sealing capability while maintaining excellent recovery characteristics. This design allows the gasket to conform to flange imperfections and resist blown head gasket failures, even under increased cylinder pressures. Perfect for enthusiasts restoring or upgrading classic Jaguar E-Types, Mk2 sedans, and other vehicles equipped with the legendary 3.8L XK6 powerplant.

Fast shipping, great product. Nothing more needs to be said.

Autoplicity was quick and easy. Painless web format. Shiped right away. And reasonably priced too.

Great communication, Great prices! They beat all the competitors hands down on price for my cold air intake order #18986. Quick shipping and they are now in my favorites for places to look for automobile needs. The only thing I would like to see them change is the speed of their website.

Fast and efficient

Cheap prices, great quality, and fast delivery. Autoplicity will continue to receive my patronage.
