About Cometic Gasket

Cometic Gasket is the world leader in custom multi-layer steel head gaskets for performance and motorsport engines. From off-the-shelf MLS for popular platforms to bespoke gaskets for race-only builds, Cometic seals everything from Honda B-series to LSX.

Maximum Sealing for Ford 2.3L Engines

The Cometic .040 inch MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gasket is the gold standard for high-output Ford 2.3L 4-cylinder engines. Designed to withstand extreme cylinder pressures, these gaskets feature multiple embossed layers of stainless steel coated with a heat-resistant Viton rubber. This construction ensures a superior seal between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, effectively resisting corrosion and shearing forces.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Material: Multi-Layer Stainless Steel
  • Compressed Thickness: .040 inch
  • Coating: Viton rubber for extreme heat resistance (up to 482°F)
  • Compatibility: Ideal for aluminum-to-iron or aluminum-to-aluminum surfaces
  • Installation: No additional sealants required

Cometic gaskets are engineered to rebound under thermal cycling, maintaining a consistent torque set even under the most demanding racing conditions. By utilizing advanced embossing technology, these gaskets provide a precise fit that prevents blowouts and leaks common in high-compression or turbocharged setups. Whether you are rebuilding a classic Mustang, Pinto, or Fairmont, this gasket provides the reliability your engine deserves.
