Cometic Ford 2.3L 4CYL 3.83in 97mm Bore .066 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your Ford 2.3L 4-cylinder engine. It's designed with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, and the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.066 inches and a bore size of 3.83 inches (97mm), making it a good fit for a range of Ford vehicles like the Ranger, Mustang, and Aerostar.

The multi-layer steel construction gives these gaskets increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps them resist corrosion and withstand the shearing forces that can happen between different metals, like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. Because they're built this way, they don't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. The Viton coating on the outer layers is tough and can handle a variety of demanding sealing situations and surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal for your engine.
