Cometic's MLS head gasket for the Ford 2.3L OHC is a .036 in compressed-thickness multi-layer steel gasket with a 97 mm bore. It uses embossed outer stainless layers coated with Viton for heat-resistant sealing and an uncoated stainless center shim layer to manage thickness requirements. The MLS construction is intended to provide strong sealing across aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-iron mating surfaces without sealants.
