Cometic Mazda FS-DE 2.0L 84mm .030in MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. This construction is designed to handle the high output engines common in performance builds and offers a compressed operating thickness of 0.030 inches. It's a solid choice for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the stainless steel layers can manage the shearing forces that arise between these different metals.

The strength of MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel design, which also allows them to rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, ensuring a precise fit for your engine rebuild.

This gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. It's a well-built component that helps ensure a reliable seal for your engine's combustion chambers.
