Cometic BMW 1766/1990cc 72-88 90mm .080 inch MLS Head Gasket M10 Engine

If you're working on the M10 engine in your 1972-1974 BMW 2002, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice for rebuilding or replacing your cylinder head seal. It's specifically made for the 90mm bore and has a compressed thickness of .080 inches, which is a common spec for these engines, especially when you're looking for a reliable seal after machine work or for higher compression builds.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving them increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that handles tough sealing environments and different surface finishes well, whether you're mating aluminum heads to an aluminum block or cast iron block. This construction means you don't need to use any extra sealants; the gasket is designed to seal effectively on its own, even with the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

This gasket is a well-built component designed to handle the demands of performance-oriented M10 engines. It's a direct fit for the specified BMW models, ensuring a straightforward installation process when you're putting your engine back together.
