Cometic Ford Focus/Contour/ZX2 87mm Bore .070in MLS-5 2L-ZETEC Head Gasket

This is the Cometic MLS-5 head gasket, designed for Ford 2.0L Zetec engines. You get a multi-layer steel gasket with a compressed thickness of .070 inches and an 87mm bore, ready to seal your cylinder head to the block. It's built to handle the demands of higher output engines without needing any extra sealants.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and rebound resistance, which also helps prevent corrosion. 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. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .070 inches found in this particular gasket. This construction makes it a solid choice for mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks, or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This gasket fits a range of Ford and Mercury vehicles, including models like the Ford Focus, Contour, and Mercury Mystique. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or replacing your engine's head gasket.
