Cometic Ford Duratech 2.3L 89.5mm Bore .086 inch MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a Ford Duratech 2.0L or 2.3L engine, or a Mazda L3 MZR, this gasket is designed to provide a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block. It's built to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness, which is how this particular gasket achieves its .086 inch compressed operating thickness, with an overall bore size of 89.5mm. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.

This head gasket fits a range of popular vehicles, including the Ford Escape, Focus, and Ranger, as well as the Mazda 3 and B2300. It's a solid option for rebuilding or repairing the top end of these engines.
