Cometic Ford Duratech 2.3L 89.5mm Bore .120 inch MLS Head Gasket

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket specifically for Ford Duratech 2.0L and 2.3L engines, as well as Mazda LF/L3 MZR engines. It features an 89.5mm bore and a compressed thickness of .120 inches, making it a solid option for rebuilding or repairing the top end of these popular engines found in vehicles like the Ford Ranger, Ford Focus, and Mazda 3.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion and withstand the forces created when mating different metals like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes without needing additional sealants. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements, like the .120 inch thickness on this particular gasket.

Because these are MLS gaskets, they are designed to provide maximum sealing performance for engines that might be running higher output. They are well-suited for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron head and block combinations.
