Cometic 93-03 Mazda FS-DE 2.0L 84.5mm .045 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. It has a compressed operating thickness of 0.045 inches and is designed for an 84.5mm bore, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or replacing the head gasket on your Mazda FS-DE or FS-DET engine. MLS gaskets are well-suited for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that arise from the different expansion rates of these metals.

The multi-layer stainless steel construction gives these gaskets increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps them resist corrosion and maintain a strong seal. Because they are designed to seal effectively on their own, no additional sealants are needed during installation. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine requirements.
