Product Description
The PAYEN Gasket Set, cylinder head (CH750) is a comprehensive, professional-grade engine de-carbonisation top-end gasket kit manufactured by Payen (a premier brand under the Tenneco/Federal-Mogul portfolio). Positioned on the upper portion of the engine block, its primary function is to provide a complete suite of seals necessary to restore compression and fluid containment when rebuilding or servicing the cylinder head assembly.
The core component is a premium 1.20mm fibre-composite head gasket engineered to withstand extreme combustion pressures, preventing oil-to-coolant cross-contamination. Accompanied by specialized valve stem seals and intake/exhaust manifold tracks, this kit is highly optimized to recover gas-tight operating sealing lines across vintage overhead-valve configurations.

Vehicle Compatibility
This legendary upper-engine restoration kit is custom-tailored for vintage 4-cylinder, 8-valve (8V) overhead-valve (OHV) Crossflow ("Kent") engine families, as well as select early small-block inline units across classic European Ford, Talbot, and Transit platforms:
| Car Model | Compatible Engines / Variants | Engine Power (hp / kW) | Year of Manufacture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Escort MK1 & MK2 (AFH, ATH) | 1.1 / 1.3 / 1.6 (Standard & Popular trims; excludes high-output GT/Mexico lines) | 40 - 84 hp / 29 - 62 kW | 1968 - 1980 |
| Ford Capri MK1, MK2 & MK3 (ECJ) | 1.3 / 1.6 (Standard OHV inline setups) | 50 - 73 hp / 37 - 54 kW | 1969 - 1985 |
| Ford Cortina MK2 / Taunus (GBTK, GBTS) | 1.1 / 1.3 / 1.6 (Base and mid-tier packages) | 45 - 75 hp / 33 - 55 kW | 1966 - 1982 |

⚠️ Technical Rebuild Application Warning: This upper head kit belongs strictly to standard, vintage **8-valve OHV Crossflow engines**. It will NOT fit high-performance overhead-cam (OHC) Pinto engines, later CVH architectures, or multi-valve Lotus/Cosworth twin-cam variants, which require totally distinct oil channel positions and combustion ring geometries. For a reliable, long-lasting seal, always install new cylinder head bolts (e.g., Payen HBS005 sequence kits) and strictly follow factory progressive angular torque stages.
