Cometic BMC 1500/1600/1600 Mark II B Series .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 74mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, a reliable cylinder head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built for high-output engines and is designed to handle the demands of modern engine builds without needing additional sealants.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. This construction helps prevent leaks and ensures a solid seal between your cylinder head and engine block, whether you're working with aluminum or cast iron components. The center shim layer can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, and this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches with a 74mm bore.
