Cometic Ford 2.0L Zetec-E/Zetec-R .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 87mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket features embossed outer layers coated with Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer rated up to 482°F. With a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches and an 87mm bore, it’s built to handle the demands of high-output engines. MLS gaskets are well-suited for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals. The multiple layers of stainless steel provide increased strength and resilience, while also resisting corrosion.

Cometic’s MLS head gaskets are designed for maximum sealing performance and do not require any additional sealants. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet different requirements. This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Ford Contour, Focus, and Mazda Tribute, providing a solid option for engine rebuilds or repairs on these platforms.
