Cometic BMC 1275 A-Series .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 73mm Bore

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is specifically made for the 1964-1969 Austin Mini Cooper, featuring a 73mm bore and a .060 inch thickness. MLS gaskets are built with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving them increased strength and the ability to rebound and resist corrosion. This construction makes them ideal for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it well-suited for demanding sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements, which in this case is set at a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches for this specific application. These gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance for higher output engines and do not require additional sealants.
