Cometic Mazda LF-VE-L3-VE-L5-VE MZR Ford Duratec 23EW .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-90mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making dependable sealing products, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s built to handle the demands of engines like the Mazda LF-VE, L3-VE, L5-VE MZR, and Ford Duratec 23EW, fitting a wide range of vehicles including the Mazda 3, Mazda 6, and Ford Fusion. This gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber, ensuring proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks between the cylinder head and the engine block.

This MLS gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different block and head materials, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 90mm, with an uncompressed thickness of .045 inches. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
