Cometic Mazda BP-4W Turbo/BP-Z3 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 85mm Bore

This is the Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket specifically for your 2001-2005 Mazda Miata with a BP-4W Turbo or BP-Z3 engine. It's designed with an 85mm bore and a thickness of .030 inches, which is the compressed operating thickness. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, especially those that have been modified with a turbocharger.

What sets this gasket apart is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating ensures a strong seal even under harsh conditions and across different block and head materials, like aluminum to cast iron. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .030 inch on this specific gasket.

Because it's an MLS gasket with the Viton coating, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a well-built component designed to provide reliable sealing for your engine's performance needs.
