Cometic BMC 1275 A-Series .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 74mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches and a 74mm bore, specifically for the A-Series 1275cc engine found in your 1967-1974 MG Midget. MLS gaskets are a strong choice because they're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them the strength to handle high output engines and resist corrosion. They also have a good ability to rebound, making them a solid option for sealing between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between these different metals.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. Viton is known for its ability to seal well in tough conditions, even on different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and Cometic uses these layers to achieve the specific thickness needed for your engine. Because they're designed for high performance and are made from multiple layers of steel, these gaskets don't require any additional sealants.
