Cometic Mazda Miata 1.8L 85mm Bore .036in MLS Head BP Motor Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1990-1998 Mazda Protege, a reliable head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of your BP motor.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This design means the gasket requires no additional sealants and is suitable for use with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to achieve different compressed operating thicknesses, like the .036 inches specified for this gasket.

With an 85mm bore, this gasket is designed to match the specific engine configuration of your Protege. It's a well-built component that aims to provide a strong seal for your engine rebuild.
