Cometic Ford Duratech 2.3L 89.5mm Bore .066 inch MLS Head Gasket

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, specifically designed for Ford Duratech 2.3L engines with an 89.5mm bore and a .066 inch thickness. It's built to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a strong seal without needing additional sealants. This gasket is a solid choice for rebuilding or replacing the head gasket on a variety of vehicles, including models like the Ford Ranger, Ford Focus, and Mazda 3.

Cometic constructs these MLS gaskets from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them 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 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even in tough conditions. This design works well whether you're mating aluminum heads to an aluminum block or to a cast iron block, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .066 inch on this particular gasket.
