Cometic Ford 2.3L 4CYL 3.83in 97mm Bore .075 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 2.3L 4-cylinder engine, a quality head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a solid seal without needing extra sealants.

This gasket is constructed with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and rebound resistance, which helps it handle the shearing forces between aluminum and cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, like the 0.075 inches on this specific gasket, which is designed for a 97mm bore.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles, including models like the Ford Ranger, Mustang, and Aerostar. It's a well-built option for anyone looking for reliable sealing in their engine rebuild.
