Cometic Mazda BP-4W/BP-ZE .070in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 85mm Bore

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 rebuilding the top end of your 1990-1998 Mazda Protege, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines. It's built to provide maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants, making the installation process more straightforward.

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°F (250°C). This makes it suitable for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements; in this case, it's set at 0.070 inches with an 85mm bore to match your engine's specifications.
