Cometic BMC 1275 A-Series .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 73mm Bore

If you're working on the engine of your 1964-1969 Austin Mini Cooper, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice for sealing the combustion chamber. It's specifically made for the 1275 A-Series engine and features a 73mm bore, designed to match the engine's specifications. This gasket is built to handle the pressures of a well-tuned engine, offering a reliable seal without needing extra sealants.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle high temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This combination of materials helps the gasket maintain its seal even with the different expansion rates between aluminum and cast iron engine blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; this particular gasket is .080 inches thick, which is a common size for engine rebuilds needing a specific compression ratio adjustment.
