Cometic Ford 2.3L OHC .140in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 100mm Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 2.3L OHC engine, getting the cylinder head gasket seated correctly is crucial for proper compression and sealing. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of higher-output engines, offering a robust sealing solution that doesn't require additional sealants.

Cometic constructs this gasket using multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to shearing forces, especially when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring a reliable seal in harsh conditions. The compressed thickness is precisely 0.140 inches with a 100mm bore, designed to fit a range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the 70s and 80s, including models like the Mustang, Pinto, and Ranger.

This gasket is a solid option for those looking for a durable sealing surface that can withstand the pressures of a tuned engine. Its multi-layer construction also provides good rebound characteristics and corrosion resistance, contributing to its longevity.
