Cometic Mazda LF/L3 MZR Ford Duratec 20/23 .066in MLS Cyl Head Gasket-92mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed stainless steel layers, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to provide maximum sealing performance, especially for engines that see higher output. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for a variety of demanding sealing environments and surface finishes.

MLS gaskets are a solid choice for sealing aluminum heads to aluminum blocks, or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The multiple stainless steel layers not only increase strength but also allow the gasket to rebound and resist corrosion. The center shim layer can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, and this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches with a 92mm bore. It fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Ford Focus, Mazda 3, and Ford Ranger.

Because of its construction, this gasket requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or repairing the top end of your engine.
