MAHLE Original Ford Escort 96-91 Cylinder Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1990-1998 Mazda Protege, or if you've discovered a blown head gasket, this Victor Reinz cylinder head gasket is what you need to get your engine sealed up tight. A head gasket's main job is to keep the combustion gases contained within the cylinders, while also preventing coolant and oil from mixing into the combustion chambers or the wrong passages. When it fails, you can see symptoms like white smoke from the exhaust, coolant loss, or oil in the coolant.

Victor Reinz is a well-known name in engine components, and this gasket is built to meet the sealing demands of your engine. It's made from materials designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures found inside your engine's cylinders. This gasket is designed as a direct replacement, meaning it should fit right into place where the original gasket was, making the installation process as straightforward as possible for a job like this.

When you're putting your engine back together, a reliable head gasket is crucial for proper operation and longevity. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, especially regarding torque sequences and specifications, to ensure a proper seal.
