Cometic Ford 2.0L Zetec-E/Zetec-R .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 87mm Bore

This product is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Ford 2.0L Zetec-E and Zetec-R engines with an 87mm bore. It has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and an uncompressed thickness of 0.086 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for use with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces between different metals. It fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Ford Contour, Ford Focus, and Mazda Tribute.

The gasket is constructed from 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 withstand temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in harsh sealing environments. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, allowing for precise sealing needs. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
