Cometic BMC 1275 A-Series .089in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 74mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1967-1974 MG Midget's A-Series engine, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is designed to handle the pressures and temperatures of a well-running engine, ensuring a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket features multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for sealing aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine build requirements. This particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a 74mm bore, specifically suited for the 1275 A-Series engine.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. It's built to withstand the forces created when mating different metals, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, and offers improved sealing performance for higher output engines.
