Cometic Mazda LF-VE-L3-VE-L5-VE MZR Ford Duratec 23EW .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket-90mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. With a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches and a 90mm bore, it’s designed to provide a strong seal for a range of Mazda MZR and Ford Duratec engines, including those found in vehicles like the Mazda 3, Mazda 6, and Ford Fusion.

MLS gaskets are a solid choice for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron engine configurations because they can handle the shearing forces that arise from dissimilar metals. The multiple stainless steel layers offer increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C) and is formulated to handle tough sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine requirements.

Because these gaskets are made from multiple layers of steel and coated with Viton, they don't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. This makes them a reliable option when rebuilding the top end of your engine.
