Supertech Ford Duratec 2.0/2.3L 89mm Bore .040in (1.00mm) Thick MLS Head Gasket

In this kit, you get a Supertech Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Ford Duratec 2.0L and 2.3L engines. This gasket has an 89mm bore and is 1.00mm (0.040 inches) thick, making it suitable for specific engine builds where precise sealing is critical.

MLS head gaskets are known for their ability to handle higher compression ratios and boost pressures compared to traditional composite gaskets. The multiple layers of steel, often with a specialized coating, allow it to conform to the mating surfaces while resisting blowout. This particular gasket is a .040 inch thick option, which is a common choice when rebuilding or modifying these Duratec engines to achieve a specific compression target or to ensure a solid seal.

When installing this gasket, always ensure your cylinder head and engine block surfaces are perfectly clean and flat. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper torque sequences and specifications, as these are crucial for the gasket's performance and longevity.
