About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Mazda L5-VE, L3-VE, or Ford Duratec 23EW engine, a quality head gasket is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic Gasket is built to handle the demands of modern engines, whether you're working with aluminum or cast iron blocks. It fits a range of vehicles, including popular models like the Mazda 3, Mazda 6, and Ford Fusion.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in harsh sealing environments. This construction means the gasket can rebound effectively and maintain a strong seal without needing additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a 90mm bore.
