Cometic BMC 1275 A-Series .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 73mm Bore

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.045 inches and a 73mm bore, making it a solid choice for your 1967-1974 MG Midget. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to handle high output engines by providing a reliable seal without needing additional sealants. They are particularly well-suited for applications involving aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that can occur between these dissimilar materials.

The construction features multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating is designed to perform in harsh sealing environments and under various load conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for different thickness requirements to be met.
