    Cometic is good gasket, well priced. I Used a lot of them in various engine builds with no problems. Thinest they do is 0.69 mm.

    As far as I know as long as it is a 2.0l Zetec then yes. From memory some Zetecs already have a thin stock head gasket......what was yours? what are you trying to achieve by looking for a thinner one?

    Cheers

    Just a little bit more compression Ive got a 2.0 to build, big cams, heads ported, new valves, forged pistons etc. Our local engine builder is helping with parts and advice as I go along and one thing he has suggested is not to go down the head shaving route(for high compression)cause the pump fuel we got is rubbish. I purchased the engine disassembled  its a low km year 2000  so it would only have had the standard gasket. I only asked about the st170 one cause I know its a triple layer steel job and thought it may be one to consider.

    All blacktop zetec motors have a MLS head gasket from factory .. Even the 1.8.
    Why not just get 0.040th skimmed off the head? They will go to 0.130th so plenty of scope there .....
