Cometic Ford 2.0L Zetec-E/Zetec-R .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 87mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s built for Ford 2.0L Zetec-E and Zetec-R engines with an 87mm bore, featuring a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of higher output engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block. It’s made to seal effectively without needing any extra sealants.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, up to 482°F (250°C). The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control. This design helps manage the shearing forces that can occur between different block and head materials.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Ford Contour, Escape, and Focus, as well as the Mazda Tribute. It's a solid option for rebuilding or repairing your engine's top end.
