Cometic Ford 2.0L Zetec-E/Zetec-R .140in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 87mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a .140 inch compressed thickness and an 87mm bore, designed to seal the combustion chamber in a variety of Ford and Mazda engines. It’s constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and withstand the forces generated in high-output applications. This makes it a solid option for both aluminum and cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is tough and can handle demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements, like the .140 inch specification on this particular gasket. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.

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