Cometic C14063-050 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - Jaguar 3.8L XK6 88mm Bore .050" Thick

The Cometic C14063-050 is a precision-engineered Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed specifically for the Jaguar 3.8L XK6 inline six-cylinder engine. This high-performance gasket features a compressed thickness of 0.050 inches and an 88mm round bore configuration, making it ideal for both stock and modified applications.

Constructed with advanced MLS technology, this gasket features five layers of stainless steel that provide exceptional strength, superior rebound characteristics, and excellent corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a fluoroelastomer rubber material that remains stable at temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring reliable sealing in the most demanding conditions.

This gasket is engineered to handle the unique challenges of sealing aluminum heads to cast iron blocks or aluminum-to-aluminum applications, effectively managing the shearing forces created by thermal expansion differences between dissimilar materials. The multi-layer construction requires less clamping force while providing maximum sealing performance, resulting in reduced bore distortion and improved combustion seal integrity.

The C14063-050 requires no additional sealants when properly installed on prepared surfaces with a recommended finish of 50 microinches or finer. This gasket represents Cometic's commitment to precision manufacturing and is ideal for enthusiasts seeking reliable performance for classic Jaguar XK6 engines in restoration, street, or performance applications.
