Cometic Ford 2.3L OHC .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 100mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s built for Ford 2.3L OHC engines and features a 100mm bore with a compressed thickness of 0.045 inches. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a reliable seal without needing additional sealants.

The construction uses 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 handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different surface finishes. This design is effective whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that occur between dissimilar metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Ford Pinto, Mustang II, and Mazda B2300. It's a well-built option for rebuilding or repairing your engine's top end.
