Cometic Ford 2.0L Zetec-E/Zetec-R .084in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 87mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. The compressed operating thickness comes in at 0.084 inches, with an 87mm bore diameter, making it a solid choice for your Ford 2.0L Zetec-E or Zetec-R engine. These gaskets are designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and are suitable for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, effectively managing the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

The strength of MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also allows them to rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even in harsh conditions and across various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements. Because of their construction, these gaskets do not require any additional sealants.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles including the Ford Contour, Escort, Focus, and Mazda Tribute. It's a well-built component designed for reliable sealing in performance applications.
