Cometic Ford Escort 1.9L 82mm Bore .051in inch MLS Head Gasket

If you're working on the engine of your 1985-1996 Ford Escort, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to handle the job. It's specifically designed for the 1.9L CVH engine with an 82mm bore, ensuring a precise fit for your vehicle. This gasket plays a crucial role in sealing the combustion chamber, preventing coolant and oil leaks, and maintaining proper engine compression.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion, which helps prevent gasket failure over time. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This advanced coating helps create a strong seal against the cylinder head and block, even with different metal types like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.051 inches, which is important for maintaining correct valve timing and compression ratios.

This MLS gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a well-built component designed for reliable performance in your Escort's engine.
