Cometic Mazda LF/L3 MZR Ford Duratec 20/23 .051in MLS Cyl Head Gasket-92mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and works well with both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The stainless steel layers provide increased strength and the ability to rebound, while the Viton coating on the outer layers is heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring a solid seal in harsh conditions. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, with this specific gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches and a 92mm bore. It fits a range of vehicles, including the Ford Escape, Mazda 3, and Ford Ranger.

MLS gaskets from Cometic don't require sealants, making installation more straightforward. The multi-layer design offers improved strength and corrosion resistance compared to traditional one-piece gaskets. This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding the top end of your engine, whether you're dealing with a Mazda LF/L3 MZR or a Ford Duratec 20/23 engine. It's important to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper torque sequences and any specific requirements for your application.
