Cometic 94-97 Mazda Miata 1.8L 83mm MLS .040in Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1990-1998 Mazda Protege, especially with the BP-4W or BP-ZE engine, this gasket is designed to handle the job. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance, giving you a solid seal that can handle the demands of your engine.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it suitable for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the different expansion rates. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the overall compressed thickness is 0.040 inches, with an 83mm bore to match your engine's specifications. These MLS gaskets don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
