Cometic 01-05 Mazda 1.8L BP DOHC 84mm Bore .080 inch MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components for a wide range of engines. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is specifically made for your 2001-2005 Mazda Miata with the 1.8L BP DOHC engine and an 84mm bore. It's designed to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is tough and works well with different surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; in this case, it's set to provide a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, with an initial thickness of 0.080 inches, to meet specific engine requirements.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. This makes it a solid option if you're rebuilding the top end of your Miata's engine.
