Cometic BMW 1766/1990cc 72-88 90mm .050 inch MLS Head Gasket M10 Engine

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s designed for BMW M10 engines, specifically for builds with a 90mm bore and a target compressed thickness of 0.050 inches. This gasket is a solid option for anyone rebuilding the top end of their M10, whether you're working with aluminum heads on aluminum blocks or aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, as the multi-layer steel construction can handle the stresses between different metals.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating ensures a tight seal even in demanding conditions and means you don't need to use any extra sealants during installation. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific build requirements, though this particular gasket is set at 0.050 inches compressed thickness.

This gasket fits a range of BMW vehicles, including models like the 1800, 2002, and 320i from the late 60s through the late 70s. It's a direct replacement for many M10 engines and is built to handle the sealing demands of higher output applications.
