Cometic BMC 1.8L B-Series .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 83mm Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1962-1974 MG MGB, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for the 1.8L B-Series engine and features an 83mm bore with a compressed thickness of .051 inches. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and provides maximum sealing performance without needing extra sealants.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This makes it suitable for use with aluminum heads and blocks, or aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.
