Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed to handle the demands of today's higher-output engines, offering a strong seal without needing any extra sealants. This gasket fits a range of Ford and Mazda vehicles, including popular models like the Ford Focus, Contour, and Mazda Tribute, making it a solid option for many rebuilds.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it 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°F (250°C) and works well in tough sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; in this case, the compressed thickness is set at 0.040 inches. This multi-layer design is effective for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that occur between different metals.
